Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mujibur Rahman has called for introducing a Proportional Representation (PR) electoral system, arguing that it is the only way to ensure that every vote truly counts.

Speaking at a rally in Barishal on Fazlul Huq Avenue as part of a five-point national program, Mujibur urged the government to conduct a referendum if necessary to gauge public opinion on the system. He insisted that elections should only be held after implementing the July Charter and ensuring a level playing field by removing “fascists and their accomplices” from positions of power.

He further demanded accountability for parties, including the Jatiya Party, that supported authoritarian regimes in the past.
