Islamic Movement Bangladesh organized a roundtable in Dhaka calling for the introduction of proportional representation (PR) in elections to safeguard democracy and constitutional reform. Jamaat-e-Islami supported the demand, warning they would not participate in any election without reforms. Jamaat’s Secretary General Golam Parwar criticized a specific party—implicitly referring to BNP—for delaying consensus and urged the Election Commission to hold a referendum if agreement isn’t reached. Several parties, including Citizen Unity, backed introducing a PR system, arguing it would reduce authoritarian party control and ensure fair elections.
