A coalition of 29 allied political parties met in Dhaka on December 10 to express frustration over the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) unilateral seat announcements ahead of the upcoming national election. The meeting, held at the Nagorik Oikya office, included leaders from the Ganatantra Mancha, 12-Party Alliance, Gana Odhikar Parishad, Nationalist Likeminded Alliance, Nizam-e-Islami Party, and Gano Forum. Participants criticized the BNP for announcing candidates in 272 constituencies without prior consultation, calling the move a breach of trust. Leaders such as Mahmudur Rahman Manna and Saiful Haque warned that BNP’s “go-it-alone” approach risks alienating long-time allies who had joined its anti-government movement. Several coalition leaders demanded an immediate dialogue with BNP to resolve the dispute, emphasizing respect and fairness in seat allocation. BNP sources, however, indicated that the party intends to preserve unity and will allocate remaining seats to partners. The dispute underscores growing tension within the opposition alliance as the election nears, raising concerns about coordination and the opposition’s collective strength against the ruling Awami League.
