Why can't it be option E?

The action of the party for the people will happen in the future, right?
Then it should be 'will'

1. The party president stated that the party's performance in the current election was much better than the opposition had expected and that it would fulfill its promises to the people as early as possible.
=> The sentence is in past form. To express future related event in the past situation, we need to use 'would'

2. The party president has stated that......that it will fulfill its promises to the people as early as possible.
=> The above sentence is in present form. Now we can use 'will' to state future expectation.
