Bangladesh has entered a new political phase as newly elected lawmakers took oath in the national parliament, clearing the way for Tarique Rahman to assume leadership following his party’s decisive electoral victory. Members of parliament from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and allied parties were sworn in at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka, formally marking the start of a new government. The ceremony was attended by senior political leaders, officials, and invited dignitaries, reflecting the importance of the transition.

Rahman was elected leader of the parliamentary party after the swearing in process, positioning him to become the country’s next prime minister. His appointment follows a period of interim governance led by Muhammad Yunus after earlier political upheaval and elections. His rise marks a historic moment in Bangladesh’s political landscape, as he is set to become the country’s first male head of government in decades, ending a long period dominated by female prime ministers including Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party secured a strong parliamentary majority in the general elections, enabling it to form the next government without major coalition dependence. The new administration is expected to focus on restoring political stability, strengthening institutions, and addressing economic and governance challenges. The swearing in ceremony signals the beginning of a new chapter in Bangladesh’s governance, with the incoming leadership facing high expectations to deliver reforms and steer the country through a period of political and economic transition.
