The election was competitive and voter-free even in the absence of the BNP. "Part of a plot against the nation's sovereignty is the party's boycott of the elections:" Quader

Obaidul Quader, the minister of road transport and bridges and general secretary of the Awami League (AL), said on Friday, January 19, that the BNP's non-participation in the 12th general elections is a part of their plot to undermine the nation's sovereignty.

Speaking during a press conference held Friday afternoon at the AL President's Dhanmondi political office here, he made these remarks.

According to Quader, if the BNP had run in the election, it would have been more competitive. Despite the BNP's absence, the election was nevertheless competitive and voter-free. "Part of a plot against the nation's sovereignty is the party's boycott of the elections," he added.

He claimed that although all political parties participate, voter turnout is typically less than 40% in many international locations.

"We are aware that many nations, particularly those in Europe, experience voter turnout of between 25 and 30 percent. The general secretary of the AL stated that occasionally it is less than that.

He claimed that while snowstorms have killed 30 people in the US in a cold wave in the last few days, a problem is prevailing throughout the planet.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the snowstorm have impacted numerous counties, according to Quader.

He announced that the 12th Jatiya Sangsad's first session will start on January 30. We can assert that the nation's democratic tradition endures due to the courage of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Terrorists identified as being led by the BNP are still brewing schemes even after the elections, the minister continued.

At the press conference were, among others, Deputy Office Secretary Sayem Khan, Office Secretary Barrister Biplab Barua, AL Organising Secretaries BM Mozammel Haque, Mirza Azam, Afzal Hossain, and Sujit Roy Nandi.
