Jatiya Party Secretary General Shamim Haider Patwary alleged that Awami League’s current activities suggest it is preparing to block voting in the upcoming election. “They know they are being sidelined, so this is expected,” he said.
Rejecting the notion that JP would automatically gain votes if AL is excluded, Patwary warned that in any one-sided election, AL would sabotage the process rather than allow votes to be cast freely.
He admitted JP is not yet strong enough and must focus on organizational reforms, strengthening its base, and increasing voter support.
