Nahid Islam, convenor of the National Citizens’ Platform (NCP), asserted that their movement had evolved into a mass uprising to establish voting rights and true democracy. “Simply changing governments won't change people’s lives. Real change requires structural reforms—economic, educational, and healthcare.” He criticized ongoing misinformation campaigns: “There’s propaganda claiming we're trying to derail the election. But without this uprising, elections wouldn't even be a possibility.” He demanded the government issue the July Charter and Declaration before August 5, reiterating the movement’s commitment to structural reform and accountable governance.
