Veteran Bangladeshi leader and Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia passed away early Tuesday at the age of 80 following prolonged health complications. Bangladesh’s first woman prime minister, she played a defining role in shaping the country’s political landscape for over three decades. Khaleda Zia had been receiving intensive medical care at Dhaka’s Evercare Hospital after returning from London earlier this year. A long-time rival of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, her death comes at a sensitive moment as Bangladesh heads toward crucial elections, days after her son Tarique Rahman ended years of exile by returning home.
