Bangladesh’s ailing former premier Khaleda Zia returns home

Ailing former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia returned to Bangladesh on Tuesday after four months of medical treatment in London, drawing large crowds of flag-waving supporters and reigniting the Opposition's call for national elections. Hundreds of supporters gathered and were seen running along with her convoy, as they showed support to the former Prime Minister. Khaleda's return adds fresh momentum to the BNP's demand for elections by December. The country has been under an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus since Sheikh Hasina was removed as prime minister and fled to India in August following deadly protests. Yunus has pledged reforms and said the poll could be delayed until 2026. Khaleda has long suffered from liver cirrhosis, heart problems, diabetes, and arthritis. Her legal troubles under Hasina's government, including a 17-year prison sentence in corruption cases, were denounced by her party as politically driven. She was released in 2020 on condition that she would not travel abroad.
