Despite no official election date being set, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has begun preparations for the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Elections. The party has preliminarily announced 100 potential MP candidates across 21 districts. However, Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman clarified that these are not final candidates but a shortlist, with official nominations to be announced later. He also emphasized the need for electoral reforms to ensure a fair election, warning that without such measures, the election could turn into a political genocide.
