The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led 18 party alliance boycotted the polls and spearheaded a violent campaign to thwart the elections along with its key-ally fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami.

Twenty-one people were killed in poll-related violence yesterday.

According the unofficial results, the Awami League candidates won in 107 seats and its ally Jatiya Party so far bagged 16 out of 300 constituencies.

Having won 127 seats uncontested, the party has now more than 230 seats in the house, which gives it a clear three-fourth majority in the 10th parliament - much like it was in the 9th parliament.
