Tareq Rahman, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was sworn in as prime minister yesterday, Tuesday, marking a pivotal political turn for the country after a period of turmoil. The new prime minister faces pressing challenges, primarily restoring political stability, rebuilding investor confidence, and reviving vital sectors like the garment industry, following prolonged unrest that followed a 'Generation Z' uprising and ousted the government of Sheikh Hasina in 2024. Rahman (60), the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and the late President Ziaur Rahman, who was assassinated in 1981, assumed the post following his party's landslide victory in the last parliamentary elections.
