Jamaat-e-Islami and its allies are set to announce their final 11-party electoral seat-sharing agreement today, Wednesday, at 4 p.m. in the Diploma Engineers Auditorium in Dhaka. Reliable Jamaat sources confirmed the plan, though formal invitations had not been issued as of midnight Tuesday. The announcement follows a series of meetings held throughout Tuesday among leaders of Jamaat, Islami Andolon, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, and other allied parties to finalize seat allocations.

According to the report, Islami Andolon had sought more than 70 seats but was allocated 45, leading to dissatisfaction within the party. Its leadership had not yet confirmed participation in the alliance as of Wednesday morning. Other allocations include 30 seats for the National Citizens Party, over 15 for Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish, 10 for Khelafat Majlish, 7 for the Liberal Democratic Party, 3 for AB Party, and 2 for Bangladesh Development Party. Jamaat is expected to retain more than 180 seats.

The coalition evolved from a 10-party alliance announced on December 28 of the previous year, later expanding to 11 parties. The final announcement is expected to include Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman and other top leaders.
