\n

On Monday, Bangladesh’s election commission announced that it had deferred the date<\/a> for the country’s next parliamentary poll from December 23<\/a> to December 30,\u00a0partially meeting demands from several opposition parties,\u00a0who recently agreed to\u00a0<\/span>contest<\/a>\u00a0the election,<\/span>\u00a0for more time to prepare.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement came as various political parties were still demanding\u00a0talks\u00a0with the government to set up modalities that could ensure a free and fair election and left\u00a0major politically contentious issues unsettled.\u00a0<\/span>Bangladesh’s main opposition parties still\u00a0demand\u00a0the polls be deferred by a\u00a0month, the current parliament dissolved, and an election-time special cabinet installed, one not led by current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Hasina and her party, Bangladesh Awami League, on the other hand,\u00a0<\/span>insist<\/span>\u00a0that both the current set of parliamentarians and the prime minister should stay in power during the upcoming election.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the deep-rooted mistrust among politicians and a vicious zero-sum political culture, Bangladesh<\/a> had installed provisions for election-time caretaker governments under which four previous elections – 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008 – were held. The constitutional provision for election-time caretaker governments was\u00a0abolished\u00a0during the tenure of Sheikh Hasina prior to the 2014 parliamentary elections<\/a>, which the opposition boycotted, eventually handing out the ruling party 50 percent of the parliamentary seats uncontested. Political observers\u00a0soured<\/span>\u00a0on Bangladesh’s democratic prospects since that election, some going as far as to term the entire 2014 affair as an\u00a0electoral farce<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

If the status quo prevails and the next election is held under conditions similar to\u00a0<\/span>2014, Sheikh Hasina may easily win a contiguous third term, allowing her to govern an otherwise difficult to govern nation of 170 million for more than 10 continuous years – something no other leader, military or civilian, managed to achieve in post-independence Bangladesh since 1971.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relative to her beleaguered opposition, Sheikh Hasina is an authoritative leader with unparalleled political dexterity and geopolitical acumen. Under her leadership, Bangladesh Awami League was able to crush its political adversaries, while forging numerous alliances of convenience with\u00a0<\/span>fringe<\/span>\u00a0political elements both secular and\u00a0<\/span>religious<\/span>. After 10 years in power, Sheikh Hasina’s party has penetrated all layers of the key state organs of Bangladesh by appointing personnel\u00a0<\/span>favourable<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to the party’s agenda. This allowed the party to govern\u00a0<\/span>unchallenged<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Socioeconomic progress under Sheikh Hasina<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hasina’s strong rule brought relative political stability to Bangladesh, enabling it to make noticeable socioeconomic progress over the past 10 years.\u00a0<\/span>Bangladesh’s per capita\u00a0income was $1,355 as of 2016, 40 percent\u00a0higher<\/a>\u00a0than it was just three years prior. During the same time, South Asian giant India’s per capita income went up by only 14 percent and Pakistan’s 21 percent.<\/p>\n

India’s per capita income stood only 25 percent higher than Bangladesh’s in 2016, while it used to be\u00a087 percent higher\u00a0back in 2011 when the current Hasina government was just two years into its tenure. Bangladesh\u00a0surpassed\u00a0India and Pakistan in the human development index with higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality rates. Bangladesh also achieved preliminary qualifications to enter the list of\u00a0middle-income\u00a0countries by 2024, provided that it maintains its current socioeconomic development trajectory.<\/p>\n

Hasina’s political opponents, however, want everyone to look beyond economic figures and development indices.<\/span><\/p>\n

A de-facto one-party state<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bangladesh has become increasingly\u00a0<\/span>authoritarian<\/span>\u00a0under Sheikh Hasina, and in some aspects, it is now a de-facto\u00a0<\/span>one-party state<\/span>, where the ruling party has usurped even the most basic constitutional\u00a0<\/span>rights<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of its political opponents and citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arbitrary\u00a0arrests<\/span><\/a>, detentions, disappearances, and\u00a0extrajudicial\u00a0killings of political personnel have increased alarmingly over the last 10 years. Special security forces regularly engage in activities akin to death squads, operating with total impunity, killing political\u00a0opponents\u00a0of the government, often under officially sanctioned missions billed as “anti-terror” and “anti-drug” operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Under an increasingly authoritarian style of governance over a decade, Bangladesh’s ruling party and its cronies monopolis<\/span>ed both the country’s politics and business. Large sums of cash left<\/a> the country to\u00a0safe havens\u00a0abroad and income inequality measures went through the roof. Bangladesh registered the fastest growth in “Ultra High Net Worth” people over the past five years.<\/p>\n

The politicisation of Bangladesh’s banks has resulted in a\u00a0<\/span>liquidity crisis<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with an alarming increase in defaulted and non-performing\u00a0<\/span>loans<\/span>. Total defaulted loans increased about\u00a0<\/span>20\u00a0percent<\/span>\u00a0from 2016 to 2017 alone. Experts are raising the alarm, comparing the current situation in Bangladesh to that of\u00a0<\/span>Indonesia<\/span>\u00a0prior to its banking crisis of 1997, which cost the country more than 50 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marginalisation of the opposition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While lopsided political and economic incentives have emboldened the ruling elite in Bangladesh, the country’s major opposition parties, both secular and religious, became increasingly marginalised – some barely surviving, if at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Begum Khaleda Zia, leader of the country’s largest secular opposition party Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was put in house arrest during the 2014\u00a0 election. This time around, she is in special jail serving 10 years\u00a0imprisonment<\/a>\u00a0on “corruption” charges. Her son and heir apparent, Tarique Rahman, has been in exile in London for the past 10 years, from where he is running the party as its acting chairman. One of the lower courts in Bangladesh recently sentenced Rahman<\/a> to life\u00a0imprisonment<\/span>\u00a0in absentia for a grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina which took place fourteen years ago.<\/p>\n

The country’s largest Islamist party,\u00a0<\/span>Jamaat-e-Islami,\u00a0lost\u00a0its right to contest in national elections, while its central leadership, many of whom were languishing in jail during the last national election in 2014, have since been\u00a0executed<\/a>, defying international\u00a0outcry<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Finding the country’s major opposition leaders in jail, in exile or already executed, some of the remaining anti-government politicians have created an\u00a0alliance<\/a>\u00a0to force a free and fair election.<\/p>\n

However, within weeks of its formation, the new alliance faced the wrath of the state machinery. Moinul Hosein, one of the central alliance figures was sent to jail for calling a journalist “characterless”. Amir Khasru, the senior BNP leader who was handling western diplomats, was sent<\/a> to jail for “hatching a conspiracy” against the government. Dr Zafarullah, another central figure of the alliance, had numerous charges filed against him, including one specific charge of “stealing fish<\/span>” from a pond.<\/p>\n

Not only the political leaders but also anyone talking against the government is now a target of several repressive machinations installed by the government for constraining political speech. For example, the\u00a0newly passed Digital Security Act 2018<\/a>\u00a0makes it a crime punishable by 14 years in prison for anyone defaming the father of the prime minister, who was the first president of Bangladesh, also referred by many as the “Father of the Nation”.\u00a0 The parliament recently passed another draft law, named “Broadcast Law 2018”, which will jail anyone for seven years for making false statements on TV talk shows, the only remaining space for public political dissent.<\/p>\n

There are no credible polls in Bangladesh that measure the popularity of a government and its actions. Therefore, it is hard to predict whether the people of Bangladesh would prefer a repressive government delivering trophy economic indices in exchange for free speech, pluralistic democracy and basic human dignity. A free and fair election would be the best instrument capable of answering that question – if only there was indeed a chance to hold such an election.<\/span><\/p>\n
