In Bangladesh, the opposition Awami League has returned to parliament after a year-lung boycott. Bangladesh’s main opposition party, the Awami League walked out of parliament 13 months ago, complaining it was not being given enough opportunity to participate in parliamentary debates. On Sunday, Awami League lawmakers returned to the chamber amid cheers and thumping of desks by ruling party members. Sheikh Hasina, head of the Awami League, says she is back to push through electoral reform proposals made by her party and its allies. She says these must be implemented before the next general elections, due to be held early next year. The electoral reform proposals involving the reelections are administered in Bangladesh. The constitution requires that before a general election takes place, the elected government must step aside and a caretaker government is appointed. At the moment, it is appointed by the government in power. The Awami League and its allies say this leaves open the door to electoral manipulation.
