Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina (R) waves as former president Hossain Mohammad Ershad watches during a rally in Dhaka January 10, 2007. A multi-party alliance led by the Awami League of Hasina is boycotting the January 22 general elections. The alliance has vowed to block roads leading to the palace of President Iajuddin Ahmed, who heads the caretaker administration, on the third day of a transport blockade called to scuttle elections.
