Awami League is set to form the next government

6012014
Awami League is set to form the next government after securing over three-fourth majority in the controversial polls marred by deadly clashes, a low turnout and a boycott by opposition parties.
According the unofficial results, the Awami League candidates won in 107 seats and its ally Jatiya Party so far bagged 16 as counting for votes in 147 out of 300 constituencies in 59 districts were still underway.
Having won 127 seats uncontested, the party has now more than 230 seats in the house, which gives it a clear three- fourth majority in the 10th parliament – much like it was in the 9th parliament. “We are compiling the results… you will get the results by later today,” an Election Commission (EC) spokesman said.
The results of eight constituencies were withheld as violence forced suspension of polling at several polling stations in those areas, he said.
The EC is also set to declare names of candidates elected unopposed in 153 constituencies in the 300-seat parliament where candidates of the AL and its allies appeared as lone candidates in the absence of rivals from Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led 18 party alliance.
At least 21 people, including opposition activists, an election official and a law enforcement agency man, were killed in violence during the “one sided” elections. The EC is yet to calculate the average turnout, but media reports said fear of violence and absence of opposition candidates kept voters away from polling stations.
“We staged the election due to our constitutional obligation…Elections could have been much better if all had participated,” Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad said. He, however, said fair elections were held at 97 per cent of the polling centres amid reports that the ballot boxes were stuffed by ruling party activists to hide the low turn out.
Political analysts said in legal terms the election was legitimate but the opposition boycott and low turnout cast a shadow on its credibility. They expected dialogues between the major two parties to resolve the political deadlock. Media reports said the Awami League was likely to form the new government as early as possible.
The BNP-led opposition had demanded postponement of the polls and setting up of a non-party caretaker government, but Prime Minister Hasina rejected the demands. Political violence during strikes enforced by the opposition since November have left more than 160 people dead.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
