Hasina’s enormous popularity as a former prime minister, and her status as one of only two surviving daughters of Bangladesh’s founder, Sheikh Mujib Rahman, always ensured that she would be a leading contender in the election. Her overwhelming triumph has vindicated her belief that ordinary Bangladeshis want a secular and stable future for their country – one that, in contrast to Pakistan, is characterized by warm relations with their giant neighbor, India.
作为前总理的哈西娜享有极高的声望，加上她是孟加拉国的创始人谢赫·穆吉布·拉赫曼两名幸存的女儿女儿之一，这些始终保证了她在选举中领先于她的对手们。她压倒性的胜利已经证实了她的信仰，即普通的孟加拉国人民希望他们国家前途是非宗教的且是稳定的- 与巴基斯坦相反，人们要他们的国家与其巨大的邻国印度保持温和关系。
