EXAMINING THE PARTY LEADERSHIP DYNAMICS OF AWAMI LEAGUE IN THE POLITICS

Abstract

The Awami League has been a driving force in Bangladesh's political landscape since its inception in 1949. As the country's leading and ruling party, it has played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's history, from the pre-independence era to the present day. Under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, daughter of the Father of the Nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the party continues to advocate for secularism, democracy, nationalism, and socialism. This research chronicles the Awami League's journey, from its early days to its significant role in the 1971 liberation war. The study delves into the party's manifesto, its influence on the electoral process, and its economic policies, which prioritize development, poverty reduction, and infrastructure growth. As one of the most influential political parties in Bangladesh, the Awami League has a rich history of leadership and governance. However, its dominance is challenged by a strong and powerful opposition, which faces its own set of challenges. This study aims to analyze the Awami League's history, evolution, decline, development, and progress in the current political scenario, providing valuable insights into the party's enduring legacy and its continued impact on Bangladesh's political landscape.
