Voters in Bangladesh will head to the polls on Thursday for the country’s first parliamentary elections since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted following her brutal crackdown on widespread student-led protests in 2024, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1,400 people.

Election campaigning ended on Tuesday morning.
