Bangladesh parties slam BNP for opposing PR electoral system

DHAKA: Seven major Islamist political parties of Bangladesh, including Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), on Thursday launched an attack on former PM Khaleda Zia’s BNP, saying its opposition to having a proportional representation (PR) system of election is akin to “not placing its trust in the people.“BNP rejected the charge warning those seeking to destabilise the country would face political consequences. Bangladesh operates under a first-past-the-post electoral system, where a candidate with most votes wins.
