BNP takes commanding lead in Bangladesh’s first post-Hasina election

Why it matters
The seat count gives the BNP a near-majority based on declared results, clarifying who is positioned to form the next government and control the legislative agenda. Jamaat-e-Islami’s strong showing after its prior ban changes opposition capacity inside parliament and raises the likelihood of policy bargaining on governance and social issues. The small NCP bloc limits the protest-born party’s leverage to committee influence or coalition negotiations rather than agenda-setting.
