Bangladesh is preparing for general elections on February 12, 2026, under an interim administration following Sheikh Hasina's ouster. Key concerns include law and order, the rise of hardline groups, and internal political turmoil within the National Citizen Party (NCP) due to a potential alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami. Reports of violence and attacks on minorities persist, raising questions about the fairness of the upcoming polls. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party is seen as a potential major contender.
