Bangladesh is holding a series of local elections to choose representatives at the village level amid a boycott by the country's largest opposition party in a country where the recent national vote was grossly disputed. Analysts say it's an opportunity for the ruling Awami League party of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to consolidate its position ahead of the next general elections slated for 2023, despite allegations of vote rigging and manipulation that marred the previous vote in 2014 and 2018.
