Description
People in Bangladesh speak about voting ahead of Sunday's election.
The vote has been condemned by opposition as a sham designed to cement Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's rule.
Hasina, in power since 2009, has repeatedly vowed that the election would be credible, after observers said previous polls won by her party in 2014 and 2018 were marred by irregularities. Jehan Afrahim, a student, and Mohammad Lalon, an Uber driver, both recount their experience of someone voting in their place, in the country's last election.
"It was heartbreaking," says Afrahim, for whom the 2018 elections were the first in which he was eligible to vote. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
