Wahlen in Bangladesh 1986 (en.: General elections, bengalisch তৃতীয় জাতীয় সংসদ নির্বাচন, ১৯৮৬) wurden am 7. Mai 1986 in Bangladesch durchgeführt. 1.527 Kandidaten traten zu den Wahlen an.[1] Die Jatiya Party errang 153 der 300 Sitze. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag bei 61,1 %.[2] Die Bangladesh Nationalist Party, welche aus den vorherigen Wahlen als Sieger hervorgegangen war, boykottierte die Wahlen.
Britische Wahlbeobachter bezeichneten die Wahlen als „Tragödie für die Demokratie“ („tragedy for democracy“) und als „zynisch frustrierte Übung“ („cynically frustrated exercise“).[3]
Hintergrund Bearbeiten
Im Staatsstreich in Bangladesch 1982 stürzte der damalige Army Chief Hussain Muhammad Ershad den demokratisch gewählten Präsidenten Abdus Sattar, setzte die Verfassung (বাংলাদেশের সংবিধান — Bangladesher Sambidhāna) außer Kraft und führte das Kriegsrecht ein. Das Parlament wurde aufgelöst und alle politischen Parteien wurden verboten. Ershad ernannte den Richter A. F. M. Ahsanuddin Chowdhury als Präsidenten (27. März 1982). Im Dezember 1983 ernannt sich Ershad selbst zum Präsidenten.[4] 1983 versprach Ershad Präsidentschaftswahln im Mai 1984 abzuhalten und die parlamentarische Regierung im folgenden Jahr wieder einzuführen.[4] Bis 1986 wurden jedoch keinerlei Wahlen durchgeführt.
Amid increasing opposition from the general public, Ershad aimed to legitimise his regime by holding a referendum in March 1985.[5] The official result of the referendum was overwhelmingly in support of his regime; however, there were allegations of large-scale vote rigging.[5][6]
Ershad planned to hold a presidential election in early 1986, but was faced with vigorous opposition from the Bangladesh Awami League-led eight-party alliance, Bangladesh Nationalist Party-backed seven-party alliance and the left-leaning five-party alliance, who demanded the lifting of martial law and the holding of parliamentary elections prior to a presidential election.[6] Conceding to opposition demands general elections were scheduled for 7 May 1986.
Am 1. Januar 1986 Ershad formed Jatiya Party to represent his interests in the elections. The winners of the previous elections, BNP, boycotted the elections but Awami League, and the majority of other political parties, contested. At the time of elections, martial law was still in place and Ershad was still Army Chief.
Results Bearbeiten
The result was a victory for Ershad's Jatiya Party, which won a simple parliamentary majority with 153 of 300 seats.[2][7] However the result was controversial, with Awami League accusing the Jatiya Party of election rigging and a British team of observers - consisting of a former Labour Party minister, a Conservative Party lawmaker and a BBC journalist - terming the elections a "tragedy for democracy" and a "cynically frustrated exercise".[6]

Nachwirkungen Bearbeiten
In August 1986 Ershad resigned from military service and a presidential election was held in October 1986, in which Ershad was declared the victor. However the elections were controversial as they were boycotted by all major opposition candidates and there were reports of irregularities.[9]
In November 1986, the second session of the third parliament was used for passing the constitution's seventh amendment bill, which primarily protected Ershad and his regime from prosecution for actions taken under his years of military rule, and on 11 November martial law was lifted.[10]
In July 1987, the opposition parties united in opposition of government policies. Ershad declared a state of emergency in November, dissolved parliament in December, and scheduled new parliamentary elections for March 1988.[6]
