A tribunal court in Bangladesh later found Hasina guilty and sentenced her to death. As head of the interim government, adviser Muhammad Yunus has been running the country. Sheikh Hasina’s party was banned in Bangladesh, and therefore the Awami League is not contesting this election.

Nearly 18 months after the student uprising, general elections will be held in Bangladesh tomorrow. The results are likely to be announced on the 13th. On the occasion of the election, a large police force has been deployed in different parts of the country.

Tomorrow, 127.7 million voters will cast their votes for candidates in 299 constituencies. Voting has been suspended in one constituency due to the death of a candidate. The election results are expected to be declared on the 13th.
