|---|---|
| Political Journey | Tarique Rahman began his political journey by joining the BNP in 1988. He played a crucial role in reforming the party's approach towards politics, focusing on productivity and development. He participated actively in grassroots movements, especially during the Awami League's rule from 1996 to 2001, and was heavily involved in coordinating national election campaigns. Despite facing numerous controversies and legal challenges, including being accused of mastermind roles in attacks and corruption, he maintained a significant influence within the BNP. After a long stint in London due to legal issues, he returned to Bangladesh in late 2025 following acquittals in all cases after the 2024 uprising. The BNP won a landslide victory in the 2026 general election, and he was sworn in as Prime Minister on 17 February 2026. |
