Awami League President Sheikh Hasina says she is very confident that her party will win a third consecutive term in office in the Dec 30 election.
“We know we are coming back. Because people want the Awami League to remain power,” she said during her interview with Indian Bangla-language daily newspaper Anandabazar.
The prime minister spoke about the 11th parliamentary election at her Sudha Sadan home in Dhanmondi on Wednesday, Anandabazar said.
“I have faith in the people of Bangladesh. They have always stood by us. They will cast their votes and give us another win,” she said.
In 2014, the Awami League formed the government with an election manifesto titled ‘A Charter for Change’. They won two-thirds of the seats in the ninth parliamentary election. Hasina became the prime minister for a second consecutive term after the 2014 election.
Due to the BNP boycott of that election, Awami League candidates were elected unopposed in 153 out of 300 seats.
“This year’s election is not as challenging as the previous one. There is no rivalry. Instead we have a supportive pre-election situation. Before this you could observe some divisions. But now we can feel that everyone is supporting us.”
The Research and Development Centre, an organisation owned by business tycoon Salman F Rahman, who is also an adviser to Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina, recently conducted a survey with the financial support of the non-government Ekattor Television.
The survey showed that, the Awami League-led Grand Alliance could win 248 seats in the election, while the Oikya Front was likely to win 49 seats in the 11th national parliamentary election. Stating the findings of this survey, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ICT affairs adviser, wrote on social media that the findings of the survey are not true as the BNP does not have the quality to win over 30 seats.
