Bangladesh's Election Commission has suspended the registration of the Awami League, the country's oldest political party and the party of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This move effectively prevents the Awami League from participating in upcoming national elections. The suspension comes amid ongoing political turmoil, following Hasina's ouster and mass protests last year. The decision has drawn concern from neighboring India and has intensified calls for the interim government to announce new elections. The ban is pending the outcome of a trial related to the party's alleged crackdown on protests.
