Jamaat-Led Alliance Expands to 11 Parties as Labour Party Joins the Fold

With the 13th National Parliamentary Election just weeks away, the political landscape is shifting as the 'Bangladesh Labour Party' officially joined the alliance led by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami. This inclusion restores the coalition to an 11-party alliance.

A Unified Stance for Justice The announcement was made during a press conference at Jamaat's central office on Saturday evening (January 24). Jamaat's Assistant Secretary General, ATM Masum, welcomed the new partner, stating that the alliance aims to build a nation based on justice and anti-hegemony.

Official campaigning, which began on January 22, is currently in full swing and will conclude on the morning of February 10.
