a brutal crack down to his siena. it seems of little consequence. i have to go home to home and do his party. no. i have my i called to be the 2 people to the people. the people accepted it or not for them, they have accepted this electron or not. that is important but has soonest be to rivals say they are up against more than just words. they being p claims more than 20000 of its members, have been arrested in the lead up to the vote. the government blames the opposition for arson attacks. the coal, so boy code seems to have been heard by many voters. these protests are suit to the streets and the capital dock. uh,

instead of go into polling stations as a citizen, voting is my most important, right. why am i here on the street instead of going to exercise my rights? because in reality, there is no election here. we all know who's going to window who's going to form the next government. even the solo, the voting starts, the election officials put the turn now that's around 40 percent of the non but from the previous polls, 6 years ago, the supporters of christina, crated her with a successful fight against poverty and some bushes. infrastructure developments, while opponents say that today, she's acting like an autocrat that isn't these beauty to the again to us or so sir . and steve, so good take. so consider to be able to enemy is the space for promoting solid. the basic i so the, the apollo is, has been the cause, the machine came despite the low turn out on the bike caught a while me league ended supports his claim as soon as victories,

legitimate. now that the results are written, it's not clear how the opposition will respond. professor any re, as a political scientist, illinois state university in the united states a little earlier, i asked them how much the opposition boy con, affected the turn. i am the election in general. it does effected in almost the as a matter of fact, we have seen to date, inbound a dish that people have voted to did with this piece that been decided enough the bus. because even though who killed status that has been provide seems to be a suspect. and they're going to see that this has been eaten the building kind of stuff. and it was completely absent. i've just been thinking of putting agents in the center so large major, even the government number shows that it has been a white glove in 3 days each has attracted the donna under their sex or

so it's been an election essentially with added opposition. and yet the government claims it's free and fair. what are your thoughts on it? how's it going to be? see and see it when bring 2000 plus people have been invested. add up the election more than 15. 100 people have been convicted on frivolous charges. sometimes, you know, the basis besides what we have seen that the, the comcast cause demands definitely because by the, the ruling party, you know, when they're put out the kind of candidates or to me independently. and basically they have their own party at their after a dish and a process that we're seeing is completely on here. and then again, what for you seem to the date. it's the important one that people have actually see to include have see, to read. this is that this is the next assignment barely be called an election often describe a disconnection. and that is why the little time that we have see alright, well,

now going forward. what will a, has seen a victory then mean for bangladesh. so these legs, the legs are missing the 1st place because it is not a mandate of the people that received because to the process as well as to the dates that people have not voted. this is not an expression of to we lived in b, b as they will face and then, and a lot of us from the issue of claiming that they are active representing the peoples. besides, we see that obligation political bodies, including the dish and ask prosperity, but then again, other 15 political bodies that are registered with dc or to get the 61 political parties have not participated in this election. people have not working. so this will be a challenge for them. beyond that, there are 2 other elements of gender economy is in a dire situation. we have seen the crisis that started almost a year ago is getting worse. and all of these things would be

a major challenge floodplain for and then whether it would be acceptable to the international community, particularly with the western countries living insisting on the the other name most of the election. all right, we leave it there, professor ali, re, as from the illinois state university. thanks for joining us on dw. thank you. a secretary of state anthony, blinking is on a tour of the middle east and in an effort to contain the conflict in gaza. his latest hopes of taking place and guitar, whose officials have served as keen mediators between israel and thomas. which card i the worst terror attack in israel's history? on october 7th, are you a secretary of state antony blinking on a mad scramble to prevent the spread of israel? a mazda for this time? us is tough. diplomat isn't guitar. second largest city sale has this middle east mission becomes ever more urgent. us secretary of state, met with a guitar
