Nurul Islam Bulbul, Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka South, emphasized the need for urgent local elections to prevent public hardship. In a Facebook post on Monday night, he stated, “We do politics for the people. We want to ensure they do not suffer — hence, holding local elections without delay is crucial.” Meanwhile, Election System Reform Commission Chief Badiul Alam Majumdar revealed that a recent survey involving 46,000 citizens found that nearly 90% prefer local elections to be held before the next national election.
