DHAKA -- The outcome of Bangladesh's national election on Sunday -- an easy victory for incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party -- was widely considered a foregone conclusion, especially with the main opposition boycotting.
Much less certain, analysts say, is what happens next, especially when it comes to Dhaka's increasingly strained relations with the West. While the U.S. took a sharply critical view in the run-up to the election, China and Russia have been quick to throw their weight behind Hasina's win.
