Bangladesh’s High Court has ordered the electoral roll be scrapped after a January election was postponed amidst complaints the voters’ list was stacked with fake entries. The US-based National Democratic Institute for International Affairs has said 12.2 million names were included on the original list either by mistake or in duplication. Former prime minister Sheikh Hasinas Awami League said the now-scrapped list had 14 million “ghost” names on it. Bangladesh is now being run by an army-backed interim government headed by former central bank governor Fakhruddin Ahmed. He has said a new election schedule would only be announced once critical electoral reforms, including a new voters’ list, were in place.
