In a significant moment for Bangladesh’s political scene, Tarique Rahman, acting chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), visited the grave of his father, Ziaur Rahman, after returning to the country following 17 years in self‑imposed exile.

Rahman paid homage at the Ziaur Rahman Mausoleum in Sher‑e‑Bangla Nagar, placing floral wreaths and offering prayers. The visit was attended by senior BNP leaders and party supporters, marking his first public tribute to his father in nearly two decades.

Ziaur Rahman, a former president of Bangladesh, remains a key figure in the country’s political history. Tarique Rahman’s visit symbolizes both respect for his father’s legacy and a strategic move for the BNP ahead of upcoming parliamentary elections in February 2026.

Supporters gathered at the mausoleum to witness the tribute, reflecting renewed enthusiasm in the party as Tarique Rahman re-enters the national political arena. Analysts suggest this visit could strengthen BNP’s presence and influence in the coming polls.
