On 30 December 2018, national elections in Bangladesh ended in a landslide victory for Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League party. While many pointed out that the election was far from free or fair, and the results remain in question, Sheikh Hasina has officially been sworn in for a third consecutive term. Bangladesh is aiming to leave 'least developed country' status by 2024, but challenges such as corruption, child labour, gender parity in education and the Rohingya refugee crisis remain. |
