Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has welcomed the announcement of the schedule for the 13th National Parliamentary Election, calling it a step that ends uncertainty over the polls. Party spokesperson Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair said on Thursday, December 11, that Jamaat, along with seven allied parties, will continue their programs aimed at securing a ‘Yes’ victory in the upcoming referendum to be held alongside the national election.

According to the Election Commission, Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin announced that voting will take place on February 12 next year, with candidate nominations due by December 29. Scrutiny of nomination papers will occur between December 30 and January 4, while appeals can be filed until January 11. The final withdrawal date is January 20, and campaign activities will run until the morning of February 10.

Political observers note that Jamaat’s acceptance of the schedule may signal a willingness to engage in the electoral process, though its continued focus on the referendum suggests parallel political objectives. The coming weeks are expected to clarify the coalition’s strategy and its impact on voter mobilization.
