Bangladesh election chief quits months after unfree poll

However, Awal claimed that the ballot itself was conducted with morality because there was no real political opposition to Hasina.

” The main opposition party BNP and like-minded parties did n’t participate”, he said.

” As it was a one-party vote, there was no need to control the vote”.

Hasina’s 15-year law saw common human rights abuses, including the mass incarceration and extrajudicial killings of her political opponents.

She fled to India by plane last month, where she remains, and was replaced by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, who is heading an interval state.

After years of oppression, Yunus has the enormous task of establishing political reforms, but his caretaker case has not yet provided an indicator of when new elections will be held.

Officials of the student protests that toppled Hasina had issued threats to senior officials who resigned from their posts next month.
