Tarique Rahman Takes Charge: A New Era for Bangladesh

In a definitive shift in Bangladesh's political landscape, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman helmed the inaugural meeting of his freshly appointed cabinet. The event marks a new chapter for Bangladesh, following the BNP's astonishing electoral victory, which interrupted the long-standing rule of the Awami League.

Rahman, head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was officially sworn in on Tuesday, swiftly taking the reins from Muhammad Yunus, who had temporarily led the government since August 2024. Rahman's return from 17 years of self-exile in London to lead the nation has been closely watched on both domestic and international fronts.

With a parliamentary stronghold of 209 seats, Rahman's administration is poised to navigate the country towards stability and progress. His leadership comes amidst a backdrop of political unrest, offering a beacon of hope for a more prosperous Bangladesh.
