Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, re-elected as the Ameer (chief) of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami for the 2026–2028 term, is set to take his oath of office on Friday evening at the Al-Falah Auditorium in Dhaka’s Moghbazar. According to the party’s constitution, the Ameer is chosen through a secret ballot by members of the national council for a three-year term. This marks Dr. Rahman’s third consecutive tenure as the party’s top leader, following his previous terms. The swearing-in ceremony will coincide with the opening session of Jamaat’s annual Central Majlish-e-Shura meeting, scheduled for November 28–29. Senior leaders from various political parties, along with Jamaat’s central executive, working, and consultative council members, are expected to attend. Previously, former leaders Ghulam Azam and Motiur Rahman Nizami also served three consecutive terms as Ameer, making Dr. Rahman the third in the party’s history to achieve this distinction.
