	Bangladesh Awami League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bangladesh Awami League (বাংলাদেশ আওয়ামী লীগ Bangladesh Aoami Lig) or the Bangladesh People's League is the main opposition party in Bangladesh and the political catalyst for Bengali discontent and rebellion in 1971.
		The Awami League was founded on June 23, 1949 as the "All Pakistan Awami Muslim League", as a breakaway faction of the "All Pakistan Muslim League".
		In 1954 along with its allies the Awami League won the national election; Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy became the fifth Prime Minister of Pakistan.

		The Awami [people's] League, with cofounder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as its leader from 1953, called in 1966 for a federation of East and West Pakistan, an arrangement that would have given much greater autonomy to East Pakistan.
		The league's candidates won a majority in the 1970 elections, but the central government in West Pakistan banned the league after war between East and West Pakistan erupted in early 1971.
		In 1981 and again in 1991 the league was defeated in a popular election by the Bangladesh National party (BNP), but the league won the 1996 parliamentary elections, and party leader Hasina Wazed, the daughter of Mujibur Rahman, became prime minister.

		The Awami League, which was consistently split during the Zia regime, underwent further turmoil in the aftermath of Ershad's March 1982 coup before achieving a new level of unity.
		The Awami League traces its descent from the party of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and in the late 1980s it continued to advocate many of the socialist policies of the early 1970s.
		The Awami League has been the most outspoken of the opposition parties against the role of the military in government, and in the late 1980s it was doubtful whether military leaders would allow it to achieve a large degree of political influence without a direct military response.

		Why Bangladesh Awami League had the devastating debacle in the general election this time has become a serious point to ponder in many circles which find the main cause in the failure of party leadership given by Sheikh Hasina herself.
		Awami League as an old political party having grassroots level contacts across the country was rejected by the people as it scored only sixty two seats in the general election that was held soon after its five-year rule.
		The serious setback that Awami league suffered has caused a grave concern to the saner section of the leaders who consider only a change in the leadership can help run the party properly to reflect people's aspiration and make it a popular organisation.
