They include introducing a bicameral legislature, setting term limits for prime ministers and measures intended to increase women\u2019s participation in politics.The yes vote was a victory for the students who led the 2024 revolution and have since fought for an inclusive democracy with better governance, a system of checks and balances on political power and more economic opportunities.But some students expressed concern about how amenable the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which won the election in a landslide, will be to implementing changes, even though the referendum is supposed to be binding.While only six of the 30 candidates put up by the National Citizen Party, which was formed by student leaders last year, won seats, the public support for the referendum could give them more thrust to act as a pressure group on the B.N.P.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTStudents had criticized the N.C.P. for forming an alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami, a political party that seeks to run society under Islamic law and to restrict freedoms for women. But Saleh Uddin Sifat, a senior N.C.P. leader, defended his party\u2019s choice, saying that it was a practical alliance that would help them be better able to achieve some of their goals.Mr. Sifat said his party didn\u2019t choose the B.N.P. because that party was \u201cnot aligning with the reformation process that we thought of.\u201dThe proposed changes are based on the provisions of the July Charter, a consensus document that the interim government of Bangladesh led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and Bangladesh\u2019s numerous political parties arrived at after months of painstaking negotiations. The various parties and alliances agreed that Bangladesh needed \u201cstructural, legal and institutional reforms to the current system of governance,\u201d including the Constitution, the electoral system and other public institutions.It is a broader win for students, many of whom said that getting the referendum passed was their only hope of securing some of the changes that they had envisioned after overthrowing the government of Sheikh Hasina, the autocratic former prime minister.But some say the July Charter is a watered-down version of the reforms originally proposed by commissions created by Dr. Yunus, who advised the interim government on how to build a better Bangladesh.Anupreeta Das covers India and South Asia for The Times.
