My guess, Joy, or that angry old bloke that runs Beximco, Salman something, although he's also quite old.
If they carry on with their family dynasty tradition and choose joy, they will probably consider potential blowback. Even though BAL got used to handling protests/riots by now, I think they will eventually be forced to appease the opposition voter-base, and at least pretend not to be a family-run mafia-type organization. If you remember BD politics in the early to mid-2010s, it went full chetonah. I think recently they have begun to simmer down on that chetonah bandwagon, in order to appease the sort of people that vote for the opposition. This is why BAL also gets in bed with some Islamist organizations.
If I was to choose someone from BAL, I think Momen will probably be the least bad option of that rotten gang. I don't know much about that guy, but he is probably okay, least corrupt of the bunch.
I don't see the opposition getting anywhere. Both due to their own utter incompetency and political suicides, but also BAL trickery, character assassinations, smear campaigns, etc. Rightly or wrongly, their image sucks. Their followers have moved into a bunch of conspiracy theorists, religious conservatives, and some folks in East London
I personally couldn't care less unless they DON'T get in the way in the way of development at the very least. I've always maintained, Bangladesh is where it's today, IN SPITE of her governments, not because of them. Though i would concede certain policy decesions in the past that had positive effects, under all successive admins
Of course, there's corruption, which definitely gets in the way of development. But all of Bangladeshi's leaders were corrupt (maybe aside from Z. Rahman?). They are corrupt because we as a people are, unfortunately, corrupt. they don't exactly spawn from a vaccume
