0 February 12, 2026 14:56

Elections in a country with which it shares the longest land border with any of its neighbours are bound to be watched closely by India. However, this year’s elections in Bangladesh on Thursday are the most consequential for India as well as for Dhaka itself. A turbulent 18 months under interim chief Muhammad Yunus, following the ouster of Awami League’s Sheikh Hasina in a bloody student-led uprising, have taken ties with India to an all-time low. Its biggest gainers have been China and Pakistan. In such a scenario, the elections could reshape South Asia’s balance of power as well as restore stability in a nation wrecked by unrest.
