Sheikh Hasina becomes Bangladesh PM for third time.


Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina was 0n 12th January 2014 sworn in as prime minister of Bangladesh for the third time along with a 48-member cabinet. The cabinet includes 29 ministers, 17 state ministers and two deputy ministers. This was the third time that Hasina took over as premier in the last two decades since Bangladesh returned to democracy from military rule. Hasina first came to power in 1996 and then defeated Zia in the 2008 elections.

The Awani League party clinched a landslide victory in the Jan 5 parlimantary elections, which was boycotted by the opposition parties. Hasina insists that her victory in the polls was legitimate, despite the elections being boycotted by the opposition BNP and its allies.

Bangladesh's 10th parliamentary elections were held for just 147 of 300 seats in 59 of 64 districts of the country, as 153 candidates, were elected uncontested. According to results from election commission, the Awami League won 232 seats, securing a three-fourths majority.
