Nahid Islam, convenor of the National Consensus Party (NCP), has stated that the proposed upper house of Parliament must be constituted based on vote proportions rather than seat allocations. During a meeting with families of those killed in the July uprising in Jamalpur, Nahid emphasized that this fundamental reform must be included in the upcoming July Charter. "We hope to finalize the Charter by August 5 through an all-party consensus," she added. Nahid also criticized the lack of neutrality in the administration and called for a level playing field before the next elections.
