After the Emergency: Bangladesh Votes
On 29 December, Bangladeshis went to the polls for the first time in seven years. The latest results show a landslide victory for the The Awami League-led alliance, however the BNP complains of iregularities and vote-rigging in polling centres. For the past months, the country has seen a frenzy of excitement and activity in preparation for the Parliamentary Elections of 2008, from the introduction of new electoral laws, to anti-corruption drives and biting oratory from all parties involved. Himal Southasian, in collaboration with the Drik Picture Library, a photo library and media organisation in Dhaka, is carrying original, up-to-date coverage of the events on the ground during the week of the landmark elections.
