Bangladesh votes in historic election to restore democracy after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster

Millions of voters in Bangladesh are casting their ballots on Thursday in a historic election, optimistic for the restoration of genuine democracy following the ousting of authoritarian leader Sheikh Hasina. After 18 months of political instability, economic collapse, and rampant violence, about 128 million registered voters will cast their ballots in the first major election after a revolution led by people under 30, or Gen Z. The vote to elect 300 members of parliament and finally restore democracy has been hailed as “historic” by the Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. It follows the “July Revolution”, a student-led uprising in 2024 that forced Hasina into exile in India.
