On 30th January 2018, Bangladesh will go to poll.

Now if I be honest with you, to some extent, this poll is a sham. The opposition party is in a dire straits and in a abysmal position. They leaders are in either jail or in self imposed exile. But that’s not the point. The point is they were allowed to run the campaign in a meaningful way. Most of the time the ruling party did use the force of the government and stopped the opposition from running a proper campaign.
