Dhaka, Bangladesh – A pro-Jamaat-e-Islami song critiquing past political symbols in Bangladesh went viral ahead of the February 12 elections, where the BNP and Jamaat-led alliance are key contenders. The song reflects a shift to online campaigning, targeting Gen Z voters who played a crucial role in the 2024 uprising against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. With about 130 million internet users, parties are leveraging digital strategies to connect with the electorate, particularly young voters frustrated by past election irregularities. The upcoming elections will also include a referendum on the July National Charter reform package.
