our south asia correspondent, samira hussain, is outside a polling station in the capital, dhaka, and told me the latest developments. well, in previous general elections there has been quite a bit of violence as well, but also, more concerningly, there was a lot of vote rigging, which is why this election, prime minister sheikh hasina was determined to have what she could call free and fair elections. of course, the challenge is that the main opposition party, the bangladesh nationalist party, did not participate. polls have just closed. i am near a polling station and they are going to start counting the votes shortly. but if you look at voter turnout, i mean, just half an hour before the polls closed, we heard from the election commissioner that in fact there was about a 27% voter turnout. that is pretty low. by comparison, in the last general election in the uk, you had a 67% voter turnout.
