12th parliamentary election in Bangladesh

Opinion / What will happen to multi-party democracy in Bangladesh?

The way the election has been held this time has made us worried about the future of democracy in the country.

Are we listening to the young voices?

Lack of interest among young voters serves as a wake-up call

Bangladesh's election formality is over. What’s next?

Serious challenges lie ahead

What is going on right now is election engineering, not preparation for a free and fair election.
