In a historic turn of events, Tarique Rahman has been sworn in as Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister, marking the country’s first male leader in 35 years. The son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Rahman’s return from exile to lead the nation comes after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) landslide victory in the recent general elections. This significant shift in leadership signals a new era for Bangladesh’s political landscape.
Rahman, who had been in self-imposed exile in London for 17 years, returned to Bangladesh in December following the passing of his mother, Khaleda Zia. His appointment as Prime Minister comes amidst a wave of change in the country’s political scene, following years of female leadership.
India has praised the BNP’s decisive win, with Prime Minister Modi extending an invitation to Rahman to visit India at the earliest convenience. This gesture highlights the importance of fostering diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries.
The swearing-in ceremony of Tarique Rahman as Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister has garnered attention globally, with world leaders congratulating him on his election victory. Singapore’s Prime Minister Wong also extended his congratulations to Rahman on the BNP’s landslide win in the general elections.
The transition of power to Tarique Rahman marks a significant moment in Bangladesh’s political history, with the country poised for a new chapter under male leadership after decades of female Prime Ministers. The BNP’s victory and Rahman’s appointment as Prime Minister are expected to shape the nation’s future political landscape and policies.
As Bangladesh embarks on this new political journey, the world watches closely to see how Tarique Rahman’s leadership will impact the country’s development, economy, and international relations.
