Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has won a fourth consecutive term, after the main opposition party and its allies boycotted Sunday’s polls.
The election commission says she secured an absolute majority.
But it says only about 40% of voters cast their ballots.
The opposition had called for protests, saying the election is a sham.
Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from the capital, Dhaka.
