to home. if there is a party that there, you know, i have my, i called to be the 2 people to the people, what the people accepted or not for them. they have accepted this electron. not that is important but has seen us be to rival say they are up against more than just words. they b and p claims more than 20000 of its members have been arrested in the lead up to the vote. the government blames the opposition for our some attacks the coal, so boy code seems to have been heard by many voters. these protests are suit to the streets in 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 a window who's going to form the next government, even before the voting starts. the election officials put the turn out that around 40 percent of the non but from the previous bowl. 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 agenda, as also said. and steve, still getting so considered to be able to enemy is the space for holding. so the basic guy, so the telephone is, has been the because the machine came despite the low turn out on the bike caught me, league ended supports his claim as soon as victories, legitimate. now that the results are re and it's not clear how the opposition will

respond for more on the 10th political situation. and bundle dash, were joined by political scientists professor leave re us at the illinois state university in normal, illinois. so this is hassan is 4th consecutive victory. what exactly does that mean for democracy in bangladesh? he doesn't add to the, to the terms, take any kind of dual credit practice. as a matter of fact, what we are leaving as to the last 15 years, the cd as an ocean of democratic sides that has been situation for they've seen legal an extra day. the major, somebody used to prosecute the opposition. we have seen the election previous to elections have been highly trained and fraudulent. and now we have seen any direction where people are back to get e y caught it because even the number that is provided to turn up 40 percent, it's a suspect. according to the official status dates, so the me did,

they were saying it is 18 percent then it to about this i did some are 26 percent 70 and an hour later they're saying 40 percent. so we'd expect to be sure. gimme. and for those days it'd be, it is shrinking to mock space, lack of freedom, media. it is not exactly, that's something we can call it is a democracy. so right scripts, the, you and the west of all expressed concerns on the backsliding of democracy under sony's rule. were there concerns heard? right. you know, i, i hope it, it has been hired. the government has not been getting any attention to the so that over the months since, particularly leading to disaffection since october 28th. we have seen how the housing, 7000 and some optimization activist as in j g, a. c no, no more than 1500. collectively to have been convicted all these things. she showed that touching base a very little attention to this criticism,
