Awami League President Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the BNP elected "two accused" in its highest posts and termed the re-election of Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman as the party's chairperson and senior vice-chairman “a drama”.

The BNP was supposed to hold its national council more than three years ago to elect the party chief and other office bearers according to its charter. But it did not do so. Its failure allowed those who were either elected or picked by the chairperson in 2009 to continue holding their posts for three more years, which is equivalent to a fresh term.
