Independent observers, also ruling out fraud, attribute Zia’s victory to her party’s alliance with three other parties, which brought her coalition’s portion of the vote to 46 percent. Two of those parties are fundamentalist Islamic groups whose aims are to turn Bangladesh into a republic ruled by Islamic law.
Other Bangladeshi analysts believe that the BNP benefited enormously from Bangladeshi resentment toward the Awami’s corruption, nepotism, and the terrorism committed by its supporters.
Because of the controversy surrounding Zia’s victory, Dhaka’s independent The New Nation (Oct. 10) cautioned that the new government must proceed with sensitivity and restraint. “The sensible course for the ruling party,” the editorial said, “would be not to fan the flames of an opposition-led movement.”
Neighboring India praised the successful election but viewed the results with nervousness, considering that radical, anti-India Islamists were now part and parcel of the Bangladeshi government. New Delhi’s independent The Pioneer (Oct. 3) recalled that Zia herself had more than once described northeastern rebels as freedom fighters. The editorial went on to say, “One hopes that...sober counsels will prevail now that she is once again saddled with the responsibilities of office.”
