BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has called upon the countrymen to boycott "one-sided" elections scheduled for January 7.

He said after distributing leaflets in the capital's Malibagh kitchen market areas on Sunday (December 31), calling for people to join BNP's non-cooperative movement and to boycott the elections. 

He said that this election is self-serving, not for the people or the voters. 

“The voters cannot participate in this,” he added. 

Rizvi also urged everyone to boycott the polls and not to go the polling station in this election.

Earlier on December 30, BNP announced a two-day mass contact and leaflet distribution programme for Sunday (December 31) and Monday (January 1) as part of their one-point movement.

Recently, BNP announced several mass contact programmes and distribute leaflets on to drum up support in favour of their campaign to boycott the January 7 national election.

BNP, Jamaat and like-minded parties have so far observed blockades in the 12th phase to mount pressure on the Awami League government to quit power and hold the next election under a non-partisan administration.

Apart from BNP, the Jamaat-e-Islami, Ganatantra Mancha, Liberal Democratic Party, Gono Odhikar Parishad, AB Party and other like-minded parties also observed hartal and blockade in several times to mount pressure on the AL government to quit power and hold the next election under a non-partisan administration.
