The centre-right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has won an overwhelming victory in the first election since the student uprising in 2024, which ousted the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

BBC South Asia correspondent Azadeh Moshiri, is in Dhaka outside Hasina’s former residence, which is now a memorial for the student protesters killed in the uprising.

As many as 1,400 people were killed during 2024’s weeks-long anti-government protests, most at the hands of security forces, according to the UN.
