Jamaat-e-Islami has denied allegations that it is collecting voters’ National ID (NID) and bKash numbers ahead of the upcoming referendum and parliamentary elections. The party’s Assistant Secretary General Dr. A.H.M. Hamidur Rahman Azad dismissed the claims after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin at the Election Commission building on Thursday, January 15, 2026. He described the allegations as false and misleading.

According to the report, several senior Jamaat leaders, including Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair, Mobarak Hossain, Advocate Jasim Uddin Sarkar, and Barrister Najib Momen, attended the meeting. The allegations had been raised by BNP leaders, who claimed that Jamaat activists were collecting personal information from voters. The referendum and parliamentary elections are scheduled for February 12, 2026.

The denial comes amid heightened political activity surrounding the upcoming national polls, with multiple parties engaging in discussions with the Election Commission.
