Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said that last month’s parliamentary election that handed her the fourth consecutive term in office was the most free, fair and impartial vote in the country since 1975.
“I think this time the election was the most free, fair and neutral of all the polls held after 1975,” she said about the 12th national parliament election that was boycotted by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The premier said these things while exchanging views with local leaders and activists of Awami League and its associate bodies and local representatives from Tungipara upazila of Gopalganj at her official residence Ganabhaban.
She said there were many conspiracies and plots to thwart the election as a party (BNP) founded in the hands of a military dictator wanted to prevent this democratic process.
“But the most important thing in this election was that people spontaneously went to the polling stations and cast their votes,” said Hasina, who is also the president of the Awami League.
