NCP member secretary Akhtar Hossain said no decision has yet been made on who would become prime minister if the Jamaat-e-Islami alliance comes to power. Speaking to reporters on Sunday at the NCP’s temporary central office in Banglamotor after a meeting with senior officials from the US Embassy, he said discussions on government formation and seat distribution within the alliance are still ongoing and will be finalized soon.

Hossain explained that the NCP joined the Jamaat alliance to pursue judicial and structural reforms and to build a corruption-free, independent Bangladesh. He said the alliance emerged naturally due to shared reform goals, noting that the NCP aims to strengthen its position by working collectively rather than alone. During the meeting with US officials, the NCP delegation outlined the alliance’s background and expressed concerns about law and order and political violence ahead of the election.

Hossain also emphasized maintaining Bangladesh’s long-standing friendship with the United States and discussed the need for foreign policy that protects national interests while upholding democratic values.
