Hasina’s Party Sees Instability in Bangladesh After Elections

Bangladesh’s oldest political party, prohibited from contesting elections this week, sees political instability persisting in the country and called on its supporters to boycott the polls, saying they aren’t credible.

Sajeeb Wazed, the son of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and a top official in the Awami League, said Thursday’s election won’t resolve the country’s instability. The result “will always be questionable,” he said in a phone interview from the US, where he is currently based.
