After nearly a year and a half, Bangladesh has once again begun its journey under an elected political government. On Tuesday morning, newly elected members of parliament took their oath at the Jatiya Sangsad, followed by the swearing-in of the new government in the afternoon. Having secured a majority in the election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has formed the government.

In today’s Star Special, we revisit the fiery days of July, the fall of Sheikh Hasina, and the assumption of power by Muhammad Yunus, tracing the full journey up to this historic oath-taking.
