The Amar Bangladesh (AB) Party has joined the Jamaat-e-Islami-led alliance ahead of the upcoming national parliamentary election. The announcement was made on Monday afternoon after the party’s general secretary, Asaduzzaman Fuad, submitted nomination papers at the Barishal returning officer’s office. He stated that seat-sharing discussions had already taken place and that further talks were ongoing. The party plans to formally join the alliance in Dhaka following the nomination submission. According to AB Party chairman Mojibur Rahman Monju, the party is now part of Jamaat’s eight-party electoral understanding, with discussions continuing on several constituencies. Jamaat has not fielded candidates in Feni-2, Barishal-3, and Patuakhali-1 constituencies. On Sunday, the NCP and LDP also announced their inclusion in the Jamaat-led coalition. With AB Party’s entry, the Jamaat-led alliance will expand to a total of eleven political parties participating in the upcoming election.
