Dhaka municipal vote finally on horizon
The Bangladeshi capital has had no mayor since 2011, but a controversial plan to carve it in two could change that.
Published On 4 Jan 2014
The Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka has not had an election for mayor in more than 10 years, mainly because the national ruling Awami League party refuses to hold a municipal vote it knows it will lose.
But if a controversial plan to carve Dhaka into two moves ahead, the city hall may not be without a leader for long.
