The death of Khaleda Zia has revived discussions of Bangladesh's 'Minus Two' formula, a strategy aimed at sidelining major political figures. This formula, previously used in 2007 to sideline Sheikh Hasina and Zia, is now being discussed in relation to Tarique Rahman. Journalist Subir Bhowmik suggests Muhammad Yunus seeks the presidency through a 'Minus Two' plan to marginalize both the Awami League and BNP, potentially bringing Jamaat-e-Islami to power. The formula's original intent was to end corruption by keeping both Khaleda and Hasina out of politics.
