Political parties and independent candidates across the country have launched their campaign activities, with rallies roadshows, and public outreach gaining momentum. The National Citizen Party formed by youth leaders who played a key role in the movement against Sheikh Hasina, kick started its election campaign from the capital city Dhaka.
Meanwhile, Jamaat e Islami Bangladesh also launched its campaign from Dhaka mobilizing supporters and outlining its political agenda ahead of the polls.The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has also stepped up its campaign efforts with party chief Tarique Rahman leading a roadshow in the Sylhet district to energize party workers and voters.
However former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party the Awami League remains out of the electoral race due to an official ban significantly reshaping the political landscape ahead of the elections.
