Bangladesh's new leaders are determined to move the country back to democracy through the election, one that won't include Hasina and her Awami League party. The biggest concern is violence involving the election, said analyst Michael Kugelman.

Amid strained ties, Bangladesh's National Security Adviser (NSA) Khalilur Rahman, a close aide of interim government chief Muhammad Yunus, is visiting India to participate in a regional security conclave.

The verdict, though unlikely to be carried out, could widen divisions and destabilise Bangladesh’s fragile democracy, analysts tell CNA.
