Controversial election in Bangladesh as main opposition party boycotts polls

Bangladesh's controversial general election underway with critics calling it one-sided.

In a highly controversial election, voters in Bangladesh headed to the polls today to cast their votes in the country's general election. This election has been marred by criticism, with many describing it as one-sided. The ruling party, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is widely expected to secure a fourth consecutive term in office.
