EC secretary Helaluddin said that BNP has given its amended constitution before the verdict of Khaleda Zia.

That amendment was largely excluded from the seventh section of the constitution of BNP, where it was said that the corruption party could not be the leader of the BNP or the candidate in the election.
In the signature of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, the revised constitution was sent to the EC to approve the corruption case a week before her prison.
