Badiul Alam Majumdar stated that if the upper house is formed based solely on seats from the lower house, there is no need for such an upper house. He added that proposals from the Constitution Reform Commission and Election System Reform Commission suggest that only the upper house should have proportional representation (PR). He believes the journey of reform can begin with this and be improved further later on. At the event, Dr. A.K.M. Wahidul Karim, Dean of the Business and Economics School at North South University, presented the keynote paper. He proposed a system where 300 seats would be directly elected by vote, with additional seats allocated proportionally using a “Winner’s Premium” method. According to him, this method ensures proportional representation while maintaining direct accountability.
