Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed’s Awami League-led alliance on December 30 (today) won a landslide victory in the ninth general elections held under a caretaker Government after nearly two years of emergency rule, reports The Hindu. The Election Commission in Dhaka said the alliance bagged 258 seats while former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led four-party grouping bagged only 38 seats, in the 300-seat Parliament for which elections were held on December 29. Five seats went to other small parties and independent candidates and results of the four other seats were yet to reach the commission from the returning officers at the field level. Earlier on December 29, security was tight and voting was peaceful across the country, barring few minor incidents. Voter turnout was high, with about 70 percent of the 81 million eligible voters casting ballots, said election official Humayun Kabir, AP reported. More than 650,000 police officers and soldiers had been deployed across the country in a bid to prevent voter fraud and violence. Fakhruddin Ahmed, head of the military-backed caretaker Government who led the country for the last two years, on December 30 termed the parliamentary election “most peaceful, free and fair” describing the turn out of voters as “heavy”.
