Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim, Vice President of Islami Andolon Bangladesh, has urged the interim government to hold elections only after implementing necessary reforms. He warned that elections held without proper reforms would lack credibility and deny people their right to vote freely. Faizul Karim reiterated that Islami Andolon Bangladesh is even willing to make strategic compromises for the sake of an Islamic agenda in the elections. He advocated for proportional representation as the only viable path to forming a national government and stated that even a party with 1% of the vote should have representation in parliament. He also praised the role of Islamic scholars in the mass uprising, acknowledging the participation of people from all religious backgrounds. With over 1,500 lives lost, he described the revolution as legendary.
