He remarked that if a manipulated election is held, justice and reforms in the country would be in vain.
“All political parties should come to a consensus, and we can discuss among ourselves how a fair election can be held. I believe that if we engage in such discussions, the differences that exist can be resolved,” he added.
Noting that differences among political parties are natural, Taher said, “We will have differences—for instance, we want a Proportional Representation (PR) system instead of the traditional election model, and we want local government elections under a neutral government. These are our party’s agenda; others have theirs.”
He further said, “Just because parties have different agendas does not mean there’s a conspiracy to derail elections or that they don’t want elections. I believe saying such things might itself be part of a conspiracy.”
