Unofficial results are in from Bangladesh's local elections.

They show followers of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina won almost all the positions.

Bangladeshis voted for mayors and councillors in four city corporations and nine municipalities.

The polls are the first to be held in Bangladesh since the army-backed government took power and imposed emergency rule in early 2007.

The local elections are seen as a test run for national elections expected by December.
