It means the election, due between this Oct 25 and Jan 24, 2014, will be held under an interim government with the ruling Awami League still in power.
Hasina believes people will have no option other than electing the Awami League if they want their country to develop further.
She was speaking at a rally organised by Peshajibi Somonnoy Parishad, a platform for professionals, at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Sunday.
“We will conduct our next election exactly in the same manner it is held in democratic countries or where parliamentary democracy exists,” Hasina asserted.
She claimed elections of BNP-backed mayors at Gazipur, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet had frustrated the voters.
According to her, the trend of forcible occupation of businesses, institutions or land owned by others in these areas was on alarming rise.
Hasina said today or tomorrow elections had to be eventually held under the ruling party as the existing system of non-party caretaker government oversight poses a potential risk to democracy.
She said there was no chance for the election to be rigged or manipulated as the Election Commission was working independently.
“People are the owners of the vote. We have ensured that ownership…We definitely will come to power if the people vote us. It completely depends on the people.”
“If the people want development, three meals a day, free books, medicine, treatment, a peaceful life; if the people don’t want militancy; I believe they will vote for Awami League.”
“I don’t have anything to say if (they) want to see the corrupt (in power), terrorism, militancy and unrest,” said Hasina.
Referring to BNP Chaireprson Khaleda Zia’s statement that she would not to go to an election under a government led by Hasina, the Prime Minister said she was well aware of the fact that the opposition leader did not want to see her face.
The Awami League President once again blamed Khaleda for the grenade attack launched on her rally in Aug 21, 2004.
