“We elected the leadership in a democratic way at the conference; most of the senior leaders were reelected,” he said, adding that PM understands the minds of party activists and leaders.

He observed that there are manifold challenges before the party centring the next national election, crisis being faced by the country due to global circumstances, militancy, and anti-government movement by the BNP.

The party president decided to keep the experienced leadership to face the upcoming challenges.
