2006–2007 Bangladeshi political crisis
The 2006–2007 Bangladeshi political crisis began in October 2006 when a caretaker government — designated by the constitution to oversee the vote — assumed power without exhausting the provisions of selection of Chief of Caretaker government at the end of October to steer the country through parliamentary elections. Increasing violence stemmed from an expected but decisive announcement by the Awami League — and around 18 smaller parties allied to it — made on 3 January 2007 stating that they would boycott the general election scheduled to be held on 22 January 2007 questioning its fairness and non-availability of correct voters list.
