From self-exile to PM: Tarique’s turnaround
Financial Express Ahmedabad
|February 18, 2026
TARIQUE RAHMAN, WHO lived in London in self-exile for 17 years, has made a remarkable turnaround.
The scion of one of the powerful political dynasties has led the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) founded by his father to a forceful victory after 20 years. The 60-year-old BNP Chairman was sworn in as Bangladesh Prime Minister for the first time on Tuesday.
His party bagged 209 out of 297 seats, while right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami, known to be close to Pakistan, secured 68 seats. The Awami League of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina was barred from contesting the 13th Parliamentary polls held on February 12.The result was a major turnaround for the BNP, long targeted under the 15-year rule of Hasina’s Awami League government which collapsed following nationwide student-led protests in August 2024.
