1973 Bangladeshi general election
text:
General elections were held in newly independent Bangladesh on 7 March 1973. A total of 1,078 candidates and 14 political parties contested the elections. Though the Awami League was already the clear favourite before the elections, the government led by its leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman put major effort into winning every seat. This led to an unnecessarily rigged election in which the Awami League won 293 of the 300 directly elected seats, including eleven constituencies where they were elected
