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.
This election will push the whole country towards further uncertainty and close the door to constructive politics in Bangladesh.
Shrugging off its moral obligation with unpalatable comments will not add to the cause of gaining public trust.
