About
Sheikh Hasina Wazed (born 28 September 1947) is a Bangladeshi politician who has served as the tenth Prime Minister of Bangladesh since January 2009. As the autocratic regime of Hussain Muhammad Ershad came to an end, Hasina, leader of the Awami League (AL), and daughter of the founding father and first president of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, lost the 1991 election to Khaleda Zia, with whom she had collaborated against Ershad. As leader of the opposition, Hasina accused Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of electoral dishonesty and boycotted the parliament, which was followed by violent demonstrations and political turmoil. Zia resigned to a caretaker government, followed by Hasina becoming prime minister after the June 1996 election. While the country began to experience economic growth and a reduction in poverty, it remained in political tumult during her first term, which ended in July 2001 after an electoral defeat from Zia. This was the first full five-year term for a Bangladeshi prime minister since it became an independent country.
