Bangladesh is set to hold parliamentary elections on Thursday, 18 months after an interim government took charge following the collapse of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s regime.
Nearly one million security personnel have been deployed. The contest is mainly between the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its once ally Jamaat-e-Islami in the absence of Hasina’s Awami League which was barred from contesting last year.
