Bangladesh to vote in election without opposition

Bangladesh votes in an election with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina guaranteed to win her fifth term. Opposition parties have boycotted the election, resulting in a lack of genuine choice. Hasina's Awami League has overseen growth in the garment export industry, but her tenure has been marred by human rights abuses. The election is seen as a stage-managed show, lacking moral legitimacy. Frustrations with the vote could lead to political violence and economic woes for Bangladesh.
