In a pivotal political announcement, Bangladesh's interim government has declared that the deposed Awami League will be barred from participating in future elections, according to key adviser Mahfuz Alam.

This follows a mass uprising led by the Anti-Discrimination Movement that ousted Sheikh Hasina's regime, marking a significant shift in the nation's political landscape. The elections will now be open only to 'pro-Bangladesh' groups, including the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islam, who are poised to shape future governance.

The interim government stresses that no elections will occur without essential reforms to institutions allegedly dismantled by the previous regime.
