In a significant development, Bangladesh went to the polls alongside a national referendum. Preliminary results from Dhaka indicate that 66% of voters have cast their ballots in favor of reforms. Conversely, 34% of voters have opposed the reforms. The referendum aimed to determine the future of the country’s political and constitutional framework. The proposed reforms, outlined in the July National Charter, include significant constitutional changes, such as limiting the prime minister to two terms and restoring an impartial caretaker government for future elections.
Additionally, the reforms propose the establishment of a Senate with 100 nominated members, while the current number of elected members will remain at 350. These changes have garnered significant attention, with experts warning that they could lead to a shift in the country’s political landscape.
