Bangladesh Awami League

The Bangladesh Awami League, commonly known as the Awami League, is a banned political party in Bangladesh and its predecessor East Pakistan. Founded on 23 June 1949, it played a vital role in the country's struggle for independence. The party had maintained a sole dominance over the country's political system between 2009 and 2024, before being ousted in the July Uprising. Due to its role in the July massacre, since May 2025, all activities of the party are banned in Bangladesh.
