Bangladesh votes this week in its first election since a youth uprising overthrew the Awami League government.
Students rose up in 2024 and were met with a deadly crackdown that killed 1,400 people, according to the UN.
It forced the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India after 15 years of increasingly authoritarian rule.
Analysts say the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party is now moving to occupy the liberal-centrist space that Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League vacated.
The main Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami, has joined forces with a party born out of the student uprising.
