BNP leader Sultan Salauddin Tuku declared that the party demands a wage management system instead of the proportional representation (PR) system. He accused authorities of plotting to delay elections by raising issues around this demand. Tuku emphasized that the people want their voting rights restored, recalling that they missed elections in 2014, 2018, and 2024. He stated that under Tarique Rahman’s leadership, BNP has been fighting to restore voting rights. He clarified, "We don’t claim power for ourselves; we want the people’s voting rights returned so they can choose their representatives." Additionally, Tuku commented on Bangladesh’s recent cricket series win over Pakistan in T20, criticizing unfair public remarks comparing election promises and outcomes to unrelated geographic mismatches.
