The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has won a majority of more than two-thirds of seats in parliament in a landmark election.

Voters also endorsed sweeping constitutional reform in a referendum held alongside the general election.

These are the first polls since student-led protests in 2024 ousted PM Sheikh Hasina, who denies ordering a crackdown in which 1,400 people were killed.
