Stakeholders, including the Election Commission and civil bodies, rally to ensure justice in the upcoming February elections, marked by political turmoil and leadership change.

In a climate of uncertainty and hope, election expert Munira Khan has highlighted the pressing concerns about the law and order situation in Bangladesh ahead of the impending elections. Speaking to ANI, Khan expressed optimism for the possibility of free and fair elections, despite existing challenges.

Khan has dedicated three decades to promoting credible elections, and she notes a palpable difference this year as the nation anticipates a transparent electoral process.
