BNP leader Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram has accused certain political parties of trying to sabotage elections by pushing for a proportional representation (PR) system.

Speaking at rallies in Bhola-3 constituency, Hafiz claimed these parties lacked public support and feared winning few seats. “They are attempting to impose a system unfamiliar to Bangladeshis,” he said.

Hafiz also blamed Sheikh Hasina for “destroying” the country over 17 years and reducing Bangladesh to a submissive state to neighbors. He emphasized the BNP’s commitment to restoring democracy and welcomed steps toward a free, fair, and participatory election under a neutral government.
