Dhaka - Khaleda Zia will be sworn in on Monday as Bangladesh's prime minister, officials said, as election authorities brushed aside the defeated Awami League's demands for a new vote.

Ms Zia, whose Islamist-allied Bangladesh Nationalist Party coalition won parliamentary elections last Monday by a convincing two-thirds majority, will be sworn in as the country's 14th prime minister on Monday.
