ABM Zakaria, a leader of Islami Andolon Bangladesh, has announced that the grand rally of Pir Saheb Chormonai on June 28 at Dhaka's historic Suhrawardy Udyan is expected to turn into a "sea of people." He emphasized that elections must follow a July declaration and essential reforms. Zakaria also criticized the past 54 years of electoral systems in Bangladesh, saying they failed to reflect the people's full mandate. He advocated for a proportional representation (PR) system, which ensures fair, transparent, and participatory elections—already adopted by around 91 countries globally.
