Bangladesh Elections 2026: Post-Hasina Era Sees Record Low Women Candidates | Gender Crisis?

Bangladesh’s upcoming general elections mark a dramatic shift in the country’s political landscape. For decades, Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia dominated national politics, giving Bangladesh a rare distinction in South Asia — women at the helm of power. But within just 18 months, that era has ended. Sheikh Hasina was ousted, Khaleda Zia passed away, and now the 2026 elections show a sharp decline in female representation. Out of 1,981 candidates, only 78 are women — just 3.93%, the lowest participation rate in years. Despite legal mandates requiring 33% women representation in party committees, most political parties have failed to comply. Many female candidates have dynastic or family links to male politicians, raising concerns about tokenism and shrinking independent women leadership. Is Bangladesh witnessing a gender rollback in democracy? Can a nation once led by women afford such political imbalance? Watch the full report for a deep analysis.
