MONITORING REPORT
Bangladesh January 2024 General Election
Risk Landscape Ahead of January 2024 Elections
Bangladesh is politically stable, with the ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League (AL) enjoying a strong parliamentary majority. This political stability has been largely underpinned by growing authoritarianism, with the AL government continuing a concerted crackdown on opposition political parties. Nonetheless, the opposition led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has been mobilising massive anti-government protests since October 2022.
The BNP will likely organise large-scale protests targeting the regular power cuts and inflation, and the growing authoritarianism of the AL government in the run up to the January 2024 elections. Hasina’s resignation, the appointment of a neutral caretaker government to oversee the elections and the release of political prisoners will remain a rallying cry for the opposition in the coming months. Such attempts are likely to provoke retaliation from AL activists, leading to frequent clashes between the two sides.
