Bangladesh’s first election since authoritarian chief Sheikh Hasina | DW News

Her party, the Awami League has been banned, leaving the center-right BNP and the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami competing for their support.

Young people, crucial to the uprising, are also largely without an obvious political home. DW’s special correspondent Nimisha Jaiswal meets voters looking for a party.
