💨 Abstract

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her party, the Awami League, relied on state institutions to maintain power during her authoritarian rule. The January 2023 election, boycotted by major parties and marked by low voter turnout, was marred by ballot stuffing. Police and Awami League members conducted the voting in the absence of voters.
