  3. About Bangladesh Awami League

    The Bangladesh Awami League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ; also translated Bangladesh People's League) is the mainstream secular political party in Bangladesh, and the political catalyst for Bengali discontent and rebellion in 1971. The party is now headed by Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of the late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Awami League has been in government for two terms, approximately eight and a half years, since Bangladesh's independence in 1971. In the 2001 general election it received 40 percent of the vote and won 62 of 300 parliamentary seats, becoming the second-largest party in the parliament behind the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
