Over 127 million in Bangladesh head to polls for historic post-Hasina national election: Video
On Wednesday, February 11, thousands in Bangladesh gathered at the Kamalapur railway station in Dhaka to travel to their hometowns in preparation for the 13th National Parliament Election and Referendum scheduled for Thursday.
The February 12 election will be the first national vote since the removal of Sheikh Hasina, whose 15-year tenure came to an end, marking what many hope is the beginning of renewed democratic participation.
According to the Election Commission of Bangladesh (ECB), over 127 million voters will cast their votes across 42,761 polling centres in 64 districts for 300 parliamentary constituencies.
