It's very important BNP continues the IG policy of keeping AL at the bay, good for both Bangladesh and BNP itself. The fact that the election was largely free of violence was mainly because there was no AL.
Keeping BAL banned will ensure BNP can stay in power. Given how close this election result was in terms of total vote %, despite the seat differences - BNP sure made a note of it. About 50 seats Jamaat lost only by about 5000 votes, which they are now requesting recount through appeal.
Unbanning BAL would be shooting themselves in foot, it will split the vote base and may see Jamaat get a lead. For BNP's own self interest, they need to keep BAL banned.
Win win for everyone.
