VC scoffs at PR voting as chaos haunts Bangladesh

Professor ASM Amanullah from National University opposes implementing proportional representation voting in Bangladesh. The vice chancellor warned Saturday that such electoral changes would generate disorder across the nation. He addressed representatives from academia and civil society during discussions about democratic processes. Amanullah argued that conditions supporting PR systems elsewhere cannot apply to Bangladesh.

The university administrator highlighted his institution's extensive reach spanning 500 sub-districts and 64 regions. More than 1,000 educational facilities serve approximately 4 million students who could support Election Commission operations. Additionally, 2.2 million trained scouts and cadet members stand ready for electoral assignments. Amanullah urged commissioners to establish definitive polling dates immediately.

Electoral uncertainty troubles domestic and international observers. Clear scheduling would eliminate doubts about democratic transition.
