About Know Your Leader
Know Your Leader exists to bridge the gap between the people of Bangladesh and their elected representatives. We believe an informed citizenry is the foundation of a functioning democracy — and every citizen deserves access to clear, verified, and up-to-date information about the leaders who represent them.
Empowering Citizens Through Transparency
Our guiding purpose and the north star that shapes every decision we make.
"A Bangladesh where every citizen knows their leader, holds them accountable, and actively participates in shaping the future of the nation."
Transparency
We publish verified data on parliamentary records, declared assets, and policy positions with full source attribution.
Political Neutrality
We cover all parties equally. Our platform is non-partisan and unaffiliated with any political organisation.
Accessibility
Information is available in both English and Bangla, optimised for mobile, and free for every citizen to access.
Accountability
We track promises vs. delivery and flag discrepancies, giving citizens a tool to hold leaders to their word.
Meet the Founders
Built by citizens, for citizens — passionate about democratic accountability in Bangladesh.
Why This Platform Exists
Bangladesh has over 300 parliamentary constituencies and millions of citizens who have never met their elected MP. Official records are scattered, rarely updated, and difficult to access. We built Know Your Leader to change that.
Parliamentary records are scattered across multiple government websites with no unified search.
Citizens often do not know the name of their Member of Parliament, let alone their track record.
Youth voters lack accessible, trustworthy sources to evaluate candidates before elections.
There is no centralised platform tracking a leader's promises vs. actual legislative action.
