BNP's strategic choices in the wake of the July uprising reveal a tension between preserving continuity and embracing transformative potential.

Today's Awami League only speaks to the mirror because it cannot tolerate the retort that would come if it spoke to the people.

Political parties must find a constructive way to end this impasse

Without political reconciliations, we're headed for another violent, one-sided election

Let the truth be known: no one has any idea what’s going to happen to Bangladeshi politics.

Let good sense—and constitutional obligations—prevail

National election Bangladesh: As the election is getting nearer, the possibility of a nightmarish pre-election period is driving fear and panic among the people.

With the national polls around six months away, the AL and the BNP are going to hold programmes and counter-programmes to show off their strength on the streets

The next few months are perhaps going to be the toughest test for Awami League’s resilience in recent history.

The Awami League at this point is not considering talks with the BNP to solve the current political impasse over the next general elections.

Surely, the ruling regime understands that the more it attacks the BNP, the less reassuring its promises of ensuring a free, fair and participatory election appears to those concerned.

With the national election drawing closer, the ruling Awami League’s focus is on reorganising the party

It must be recognised that the election is not a one-day phenomenon – it is a process involving multiple interrelated steps

The problem in Bangladesh is that politicians consider compromise as a weakness and a sign of defeat

Regaining public confidence and trust in the Election Commission, which have been systematically destroyed by two previous commissions, is undoubtedly a tough task. Unfortunately, it seems the current EC, too, is failing us miserably.

Can a political party – regardless of whether they are in power or in opposition – use public property to attend a party rally?

Why should two political parties of the same nation receive polar opposite treatments?

This election year, the question that will inevitably come to the fore is of how successful AL has been in keeping its promises.

The Awami League envisions a “Smart Bangladesh” by 2041, seeking to build a country that would be cost-effective, sustainable, innovative and knowledge-based.

A consensus among political parties is essential for holding a good election.
