DHAKA -- Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina looks set to cruise to victory in the country's election on Sunday, with the main opposition boycotting polls it considers unfair. But despite the lack of suspense over the outcome, her ruling Awami League faces a battle to ensure a reasonable turnout and give the voting an air of legitimacy.
Sharmeen Murshid, who heads the respected election observer group Brotee, described the upcoming polls as the "most bizarre and absurd election" imaginable.
