BD election

Some take away news on BD election from international media:
"..the embarrassingly skewed tally suggested that the BNP was not really the biggest loser. The biggest loss was for democracy itself." The Economist
"That kind of margin of victory — 96 percent — was a result one might expect in a place like North Korea, not a democratic nation such as Bangladesh." Washington Post
"The Bangladesh ruling party's probable calculus for today's election:
Votes from its rank and file supporters + low turnout + longstanding crackdowns on the opposition + a very non-level electoral playing field + likely election -day rigging = winning more than 90% (!) of seats." Michael Kugelman, Deputy director Asia Program and South Asia senior associate The Wilson Center. Main emphasis on Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Bangladesh. Not a journalist.
"By hook, crook and ballot
Bangladesh’s prime minister wins a fourth term, in ruthless fashion." The Economist.
"That is exactly the problem: Hasina, Bangladesh’s increasingly authoritarian leader, consolidated her grip on power but at the cost of her own electoral legitimacy." Washington Post
