Where did you quote those figures from, about electoral colleges?No Mujeeb got more electoral colleges then bhutto. 160 for awami league 81 for PPP. There was no question of who won. Yahya simply refused to hand over the govt initially. And when he finally agreed for talks feeling the heat of public pressure, Mujeeb put the condition to remove Martial Law first and hand over complete power to civilians.
Yahya completely declined and started mass killing in East.
The difference of Mujeeb and Bhutto was that bhutto wanted a united front with Mujeeb against Martial law removal in a 2 halves sort of setup. Mujeeb demanded to be the leader of whole Pakistan being winner of majority seats and refused Bhutto offer for a united front.
There was no mass killing.
Yehya came into power in March 1970.
He should have arranged elections in July August, but that was also moonsoon season.
Yehya delayed election due to "Bhola cyclone ". Which was a world record breaker natural calamity.
That happened in November 1970.
But then under pressure he had to hold election in December 1970 , just a month after one of the most destructive cyclone in recorded History .
That was not the time for election but rescue and relief. But both Bhutto and Mujeeb had their way.
Later Yehya had no idea whom to transfer power to as both claimed victory.
