What did Tariq Rehman say after winning the election?
Tariq Rehman said that after one and a half decade, an accountable government elected by direct vote is going to be formed in the country. He appealed to the people to remain united, so that no force can again bring dictatorship or external pressure in the country.

This election was also important because former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to step down from power after the student movement of July 2024. After this she is living in exile in India. His party Awami League was barred from participating in this election.
When did Rahman return to Dhaka?
After living in London for about 17 years, Rahman returned to Dhaka in December 2025. Shortly thereafter, his mother and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia died. Now Rehman is going to hold the same post which his mother once held. Besides, people have also supported the proposal of constitutional reforms in the referendum, which will open the way for political and administrative changes in the country.
