The Jamaat-e-Islami-led 11-party electoral alliance has nominated 13 candidates for the reserved women's seats in Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliament. The announcement was made on Monday evening at the alliance’s press conference held at Jamaat’s central office in Moghbazar. Alliance coordinator and Jamaat Assistant Secretary General Hamidur Rahman Azad declared the names, adding that nomination papers would be submitted on Tuesday morning at the Election Commission office in Agargaon.

Among the nominees, eight are leaders from Jamaat’s women’s division, one is the mother of July martyr Jabir Ibrahim, two are from the National Citizen Party (NCP), one from the National Democratic Party (JAGPA), and one from Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish. Azad stated that the alliance, which had jointly participated in the February 12 election, continues to act together as the parliamentary opposition. He noted that some parties without parliamentary representation were still given seats as part of the alliance’s political commitment.

The alliance leaders, including representatives from Jamaat, NCP, JAGPA, and Khelafat Majlish, attended the press conference, expressing unity and commitment to collective political action.
