A compelling report suggests that the Awami League continues to command a powerful base of support within Bangladesh. Political analyst Masood Kamal’s observations for Deutsche Welle (DW) reveal a deep-seated, ideological, and historical devotion among many AL supporters, enduring even in the face of scrutiny. This underlying strength is underscored by past electoral performance; the party amassed over 22 million votes in the 2001 elections, illustrating its persistent popular appeal. Kamal also commented on the actions of the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, suggesting that prohibiting political parties through executive measures is not a hallmark of a civilized nation. He further described the current administration as having transitioned from a potential unifier to a source of political division.
