The party, Jamaat-e-Islami, proved on Thursday that its early successes were not a fluke. In the first national elections to be held since the 2024 revolution — when students toppled the government of Sheikh Hasina, an autocratic dynast — the party won nearly a quarter of seats. While the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by Tarique Rahman, the scion of the country’s other political dynasty who is set to become prime minister, won a clear majority, Jamaat did far better than it ever had previously by winning 68 of the 297 seats.
