Tarique Rahman Takes Oath As Bangladesh PM After BNP’s Landslide Win

Ushering in a new era in Bangladeshi politics, dominated for decades by Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief Tarique Rahman has taken oath as the country’s prime minister.

Rahman, 60, who was in self-imposed exile in London for 17 years, had returned to Bangladesh in December following the death of his mother, Khaleda Zia. He led his party to a landslide victory in last week’s general elections, winning 209 of the 297 seats in which polling was held, while the main challenger, Jamaat-e-Islami, was restricted to 68.
