Understanding the 2026 Bangladesh Election: Webinar Screening and Q&A

Learn About Bangladesh’s 2024 July Revolution, the newly elected Bangladesh National Party, recent reforms, and the impact that its February 2026 elections will have on the nation’s future. IIS will screen a recent Stimson Center webinar examining the outcomes and implications of Bangladesh’s pivotal parliamentary elections, held at a critical turning point for the country. The discussion will explore how a sweeping victory by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the approval of a constitutional referendum are reshaping Bangladesh’s political landscape, democratic trajectory, and foreign relations. Stimson Center Senior Fellow Steve Ross, who moderated the webinar, will join IIS live for a Q&A following the screening.
