The front-runner to become the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has returned to the country after 17 years in exile. Hasina, the leader of the Awami League party, landed at the Dhaka airport yesterday, surrounded by supporters cheering her arrival.
Sheikh Hasina went into exile in 2007 following a change in government and a series of corruption-related charges against her. During her time abroad, she continued to lead the opposition Awami League party from London, maintaining strong support among the party’s members and supporters.
Hasina’s return comes ahead of the upcoming general elections in Bangladesh, where she is widely expected to secure a fourth consecutive term as Prime Minister. Her return has sparked both celebrations among her supporters and concerns among her critics, who accuse her of authoritarian tendencies and suppressing political dissent.
In a statement upon her return, Hasina expressed her commitment to democracy and pledged to work for the development and prosperity of Bangladesh. She also called for a peaceful and inclusive election process, urging all political parties to participate constructively.
The government has welcomed Hasina’s return, emphasizing the importance of her participation in the democratic process. The opposition, however, has raised questions about the timing of her return and has called for a level playing field in the upcoming elections to ensure a fair and transparent contest.
The situation is expected to remain tense as the country prepares for the election, with Sheikh Hasina’s return adding a new dimension to the political landscape in Bangladesh.
