Bangladesh Election: Sheikh Hasina elected for a fifth term as Prime Minister | Oneindia News
Bangladesh Prime Minister and Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina has been re-elected for the fifth term, with her party winning more than 50 per cent in an election marred with violence and boycott from the main opposition BNP.
Around 170 million Bangladeshis voted today to elect 299 lawmakers even as the Opposition boycotted the polls.
Forty per cent of the eligible electorate exercised their franchise amid sporadic violence, officials said.
The run-up to the elections was marred with incidents of violence and arson where at least five schools and four coaches of a train were set ablaze on Friday.
Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.”
Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London.
As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest.
Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi.
Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom?

Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus has announced that national elections will be held in April 2026, following sustained domestic unrest and international pressure. The move comes after the dramatic ousting of long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year, sparking political uncertainty and protests. As Bangladesh navigates its volatile transition, Yunus said the Election Commission will soon unveil a detailed roadmap. The announcement marks a crucial turning point in the country’s democratic journey and raises questions about stability, legitimacy, and the future political landscape.

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has officially been charged with crimes against humanity for her alleged role in the brutal crackdown on student protesters during the 2024 uprising. Prosecutors accuse Hasina of directly ordering state security forces to carry out coordinated attacks that left over 1,500 dead and 25,000 injured. With 81 witnesses and encrypted communications cited as evidence, the charges mark a dramatic turn in Bangladesh’s political history. Hasina resigned in August and fled to India amid mass protests.
