Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Wednesday (22 November) said the upcoming 12th national election will not be a one-sided one even if BNP does not join it.

Quader said even if BNP does not join the elections, other parties will participate in the polls.

"It is not right that the elections will be one-sided if the BNP does not participate." "Many will participate in elections," he told journalists after meeting with the Commonwealth pre-election mission at the Dhaka district AL office in Tejgaon, the capital.

"How will you ignore them? Participating or not participating in polls is a democratic matter. Many parties will finally participate in the elections. It is not fair to say everything for a party and to reach a conclusion," he said.
