Bangladesh's first female prime minister Khaleda Zia has died following a prolonged illness, her political party has said.
Zia became the country's first female leader in 1991 after its first democratic election in 20 years.
In office for three terms, she traded the country’s leadership with Sheikh Hasina, the head of another political dynasty, over decades. She was believed to be 80.
The 80-year-old fought to restore democracy after military takeover in 1980s, but corruption claims tainted her legacy.
Bangladesh's first female prime minister dies after a prolonged illness in Dhaka, her party says.
