"One of the issues that agitated us to leave the BDP to form the BMD was after party chairmanship was reserved for a certain individual and that no one should challenge that particular person. We left because we believed that the setup was unacceptable in a democracy and thus any one who so wishes to contest for the chairmanship had the right to do so."
