An informal eight-party alliance led by Jamaat-e-Islami is making strong efforts to maintain unity ahead of the upcoming election through seat-sharing arrangements. Despite complications over finalizing single candidates in various constituencies, leaders expect the issues to be resolved soon. Discussions are also underway to include additional parties such as the NCPC in the coalition. Multiple meetings were held on Friday, with further talks scheduled for Saturday, and final decisions are expected within a few days. The alliance, which evolved from an issue-based movement platform, includes Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, Khelafat Majlish, Khelafat Andolan, Nezame Islam Party, Jatiya Ganatantrik Party (JAGPA), and Bangladesh Development Party (BDP). A liaison committee began selecting single candidates for each seat on December 9, and the process is now in its final stage. However, disputes over the number of seats allocated to each party have delayed the final agreement. Leaders, including Maulana Mamunul Haque and Dr. Hamidur Rahman Azad, expressed optimism that the alliance will remain intact and that discussions with new parties are progressing. They expect the seat-sharing deal to be finalized within two to four days.
