Law enforcement agencies have put in place a tight security arrangement across the country for the national election and referendum today, deploying nearly 10 lakh personnel to ensure a free, fair, and uninterrupted vote.

With only a day left before the national election, Dhaka wore a deserted look yesterday as many city residents left the capital to cast their votes in their respective constituencies.

A long-standing, unwritten equation has shaped Bangladesh’s parliamentary elections -- the party that secures a majority in the capital usually finds its path to forming the government.
