BNP leader Nazrul Islam Khan has voiced caution over the proposed adoption of the proportional representation (PR) system, stating that elections cannot be held solely based on this framework. He criticized attempts to impose the system on citizens without consultation. While all political parties may accept the PR approach in principle, he emphasized that elections under this system are impossible without constitutional amendments. “Only an elected parliament can make such changes, and the current parliament is not elected by the people, making it unreasonable to implement the PR system now,” he said. Nazrul Islam also raised concerns about changes to the entire electoral structure through the PR system, even as no final decision on electronic voting machines (EVMs) has been made, describing the move as undue pressure on the public.
