Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina scores big election win, opposition claims vote rigged

DHAKA - Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has secured a fourth term with a landslide victory in polls the opposition rejected as rigged, amid clashes between rival supporters that killed at least 17 people.

Hasina's ruling Awami League party and its allies won 288 seats in the 300-seat parliament, with the main opposition securing only six seats, Election Commission secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed said.

The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which boycotted the last poll in 2014, won just six seats.
