Tarique Rahman, the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has emerged as the big winner in this week's pivotal election. The 60-year-old son of a former prime minister will take the oath of office as the new prime minister on Sunday. Rahman's BNP was the frontrunner going into Thursday's vote. He's promising to strengthen the country's democracy and improve security. The World's Carolyn Beeler reports from the capital, Dhaka.
