Bangladesh opposition rejects election results, calls for fresh vote

DHAKA, AFP: Bangladesh’s opposition rejected election results Sunday that showed Prime Minister Sheikha Hasina heading for a landslide victory and demanded a new vote. 

“We urge the election commission to void this farcical result immediately,” opposition leader Kamal Hossain told reporters. 

“We are demanding that a fresh election is held under a neutral government as early as possible,” he added.
