Khaleda & Hasina
Looking for the old results?
Khaleda Zia (61) heads the Bangladesh National Party (BNP). She is the widow of Ziaur Rahman, a general and a former president who was assassinated in 1981. After his death she was declared the party's leader.
Her opponent Sheikh Hasina (59) leads the Awami League (AL). She is the daughter of the man who led the country to independence and became its first prime minister, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He was killed in a military putsch in 1975 together with most of his family.
For years, the rivalry and mutual hatred of Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina have defined the politics of Bangladesh. They owe their power to the political dynasties they belong to.
About 150 politicians and businessmen have been arrested since January 2007; the transitional government now has to fulfill its promise of democracy.
