Mirza Fakhrul Is­lam Alam­gir says elec­tion was a ‘fraud’ and marred by ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties but elec­toral body re­jects charges.

The rul­ing Awa­mi League has been hard-sell­ing de­vel­op­ment to mil­lions of vot­ers ahead of the De­cem­ber 30 poll.

About 7,000 ac­tivists and lead­ers have been ar­rest­ed since No­vem­ber, the op­po­si­tion al­liance says.
