The century-old Bangladesh Muslim League has announced its reunification and decision to field candidates in all 300 constituencies in the upcoming 13th national election. The announcement came after a meeting in Old Dhaka, chaired by senior leader Md. Sharafuddin, where previously divided factions pledged unity against what they termed foreign dominance. Leaders including Secretary General Kazi Abul Khair and Vice President Nazrul Islam attended, while senior figures Abdul Aziz Hawlader and Aftab Hossain Molla joined virtually to endorse the move.

Party leaders described the unification as a historic step to restore the League’s nationalist identity and influence. Kazi Abul Khair accused a neighboring state of undermining Bangladesh’s sovereignty, while organizational secretary Khan Asad admitted internal divisions had weakened the party’s public appeal. The leadership vowed to rebuild the organization under its traditional lantern symbol and reconnect with grassroots supporters.

Analysts note that the League’s decision to contest all seats signals an attempt to reassert relevance in a polarized political landscape dominated by larger parties. The move may reshape alliances and test the party’s organizational strength nationwide.
