Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB)
Star Interview / Reforms first, then polls
The Islami Andolan Bangladesh prioritises reforms over elections but also believes the government should announce a timeline of its own accord. Still in talks with other Islamist parties for a grand coalition, Islami Andolan chief Syed Mohammad Rezaul Karim told The Daily Star during an exclusive interview that it favoured proportional representation instead of the prevailing ‘first-past-the-post’ election system.
‘All that matters to AL is acquiring power.’
This election will push the whole country towards further uncertainty and close the door to constructive politics in Bangladesh.
The EC must evaluate its own performance
Shrugging off its moral obligation with unpalatable comments will not add to the cause of gaining public trust.
