Abstract
Significance Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League (AL), which aims to secure a fourth consecutive term, is under pressure to ensure a genuine contest with high voter turnout. The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is boycotting the polls and encouraging voters to do likewise, having failed to get Hasina to resign so that voting would take place under a caretaker government. Impacts Hasina and other senior figures within the AL will do their utmost to keep a lid on intra-party tensions. Any doubts over the legitimacy of the polls would strain Bangladesh’s relations with the United States and the EU. The country should register strong GDP growth in the fiscal year ending June 2024, despite its economic problems.
