BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has raised concerns about introducing new electoral systems like proportional representation (PR), citing the general public’s lack of understanding of even existing systems such as Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). “People still don’t fully understand how EVMs work. How can you expect them to grasp proportional representation?” he asked. Fakhrul continued, “There are many new ideas being floated, but our people are unfamiliar with them. When you mention PR, people ask, ‘What’s that?’” He urged for an electoral system that aligns with the people's familiarity and understanding, emphasizing that meaningful representation in parliament must remain the priority. He also added, “Some accuse us of being against reforms, but the very idea of reform has always been central to our cause.”
