2024 Bangladesh National Election
On January 7, 2024, voters in Bangladesh head to the polls for national elections. It is a tense pre-election period, with the primary opposition party vowing a boycott over allegations of electoral manipulation on the part of the incumbent Awami League and some violence in the streets. What are the likely outcomes of this political strategy? And could political instability impact the country's economic growth and even levels of political violence? See our pre-election podcast with Drs. Shahab Enam Khan and Geoffrey Macdonald to put the campaign in context, and our Pre-Election Briefing from CAD Graduate Research Associate Toree Doll for background analysis of the election.
