In 2006, Boyarchenko and Drinfeld conjectured that for a unipotent algebraic group over $\overline{ \mathbb{ F}}_q$, every geometric point is contained in the neutral connected component of its centralizer if and only if its $\mathbb{ L}$-packets of character sheaves are singletons. In 2013, Boyarchenko proved the "only if" direction of this conjecture. In this paper, we complete the proof. Along the way, we explore the relationship between general algebraic groups satisfying this property and their Asai twisting operator.
