Popular singer Asif Akbar, known for his active presence on social media, has once again stirred public conversation, this time around the issue of national elections.
The singer, who frequently shares his views on political matters, took to Facebook on February 18, advocating for local government elections prior to the national elections.
In his post, Akbar said, "Local government elections are urgent before the national elections. This will allow us to gauge the improvement of political culture, benefiting the people as well."
His statement sparked mixed reactions among netizens. Many voiced support for his suggestion, agreeing that local elections would enhance democratic practices, possibly preventing errors in selecting appropriate candidates for national elections.
Others, however, expressed concerns about the potential for increased violence if local elections were held before the national ones.
