BNP leader Asaduzzaman Ripon has warned that introducing proportional representation (PR) in Bangladesh’s elections would plunge the country into instability. Speaking at a discussion, he argued, “No political party would be able to form a majority government under PR. We would see one government in the morning and another in the evening, threatening our independence and sovereignty.” Ripon insisted that in countries where democracy is not yet deeply rooted, PR elections could only produce fragile coalitions and political chaos. “Bangladesh needs stability, not disaster,” he said.
