Bangladesh’s fugitive ex-leader warns of mass voter boycott in 2026 polls

Sheikh Hasina warns that banning the Awami League party disenfranchises millions and deepens Bangladesh’s political crisis ahead of February 2026 elections, which she calls unfair.

  • Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina warned that holding elections without her party, the Awami League, risks deepening division in the country.
  • Hasina condemned her trial for crimes against humanity as a 'jurisprudential joke' and believes a guilty verdict was 'preordained'.
  • Hasina said the interim government's ban on the Awami League under anti-terrorism laws prevents credible elections by excluding a major party.
