Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Poised To Win 5th Term As Opposition Boycotts Poll
Bangladesh election results will be out on Monday. The country voted in its 12th general election on Sunday amid a boycott and strike by the main opposition party. Voter turnout in Bangladesh was at 40%. Largely it was a peaceful day of polling, with sporadic incidents of violence. Sheikh Hasina of the Awami League has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh since 2008 and is poised to win a fourth straight term as the main opposition party - the Bangladesh Nationalist Party - boycotted the elections.
