At this moment the party is leading by a huge margin of 129 seats as against 14 seats won by Bangladesh Nationalist Party. It is just a matter of time before Awami League, Sheikh Hasina Wajed’s Party win these elections.Â
DHAKA: The Awami League party of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed leads in Bangladesh elections by a landslide margin, local private television stations reported early Tuesday.
The privately owned TV network said the Awami League had won 129 seats compared to 14 won by its rival the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The winner needs a simple majority of 151 seats to govern.
DHAKA: A ‘grand alliance’ headed by Bangladesh’s former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has won a majority of seats in parliament, according to unofficial results from Monday’s vote, election officials said.
The unofficial figures showed Hasina’s alliance had taken more than 201 seats in the 300-seat parliament. – Reuters Rauf Klasra adds: Hasina Wajid is said to be inching close to recapture power in Dhaka after seven years as initial results revealed that the eight-party grand alliance she is leading was finally heading towards an electoral victory against the BNP of Begum Khalida Zia.
Turnout was the heaviest since Bangla DeshÃs creation in 1971 as the youth went to vote to make a new history amid turmoil and economic mess in the country. Over 16 million young voters, who were supposed to vote for the first time, gave a new dimension to the election.
The initial survey of independent groups of international repute turned out to be of no help to Khalida Zia whose party was earlier being given an edge over her rival Hasina WajidÃs Awami League.
Khalida Zia’s alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami is said to have proved a disastrous decision for her party whose candidates were found trailing behind the candidates of the grand alliance in at least 200 constituencies out of a total of 299.

Bangladesh tried to copy Pakistan by imposing a camouflaged martial law, thus banning the two popular leaders and their parties. The recent results have showed that the surgical strikes of the recent past have done no damage to the love of the people for true democracy and their leaders.
The only solution i have for both of our countries is to shorten the time of the elections from four to two years that will enable the masses to alienate the one who are not serving them right.
Instead of the armed forces to chip and and do the dirty work, hope this will bear a positive result in bringing the true democracy in the two brotherly Islamic countries.
