BNP’s Aminul Haque criticized the Awami League, calling it a repressive regime of 17 years and declaring that even seeing its leaders' faces is sinful. He emphasized prioritizing loyal and persecuted BNP activists in membership renewals and rejected those with ties to Awami League. He accused local and foreign conspiracies of delaying elections and expressed hope for polls in February. BNP leaders also vowed to exclude corrupt individuals and uphold moral responsibility in party activities.
