Jamaat leader Matiur Rahman Akand emphasized the importance of a neutral environment for conducting free and fair elections. He stated that whether the election remains impartial depends on the government, the Election Commission, and the military. “If illegal power grabs continue, there will be no level playing field in the elections,” he warned. Akand said observers will monitor the situation closely and demand corrective action if the playing field is not leveled, identifying causes for any imbalance. He also highlighted the need to test the neutrality of the Election Commission and urged that CCTV cameras be installed at every polling station nationwide. Notably, he mentioned that if necessary, voting could be conducted over multiple days instead of a single day. He affirmed that the military will support Bangladesh and ruled out any opportunity to reinstate special groups.
