Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Wednesday said the party would not form any alliance for the upcoming national election and would contest independently.
Speaking to reporters at Sylhet Osmani International Airport on Wednesday morning, he said the party aims to ensure that the national election is held in February 2026 with participation from all sides. “If the election is delayed, it may lead to various forms of unrest,” he warned.
“We have not decided to form any alliance, and we will not form one,” he said, adding that the Awami League has no scope to participate in the upcoming election.
Referring to his recent overseas visit, Shafiqur Rahman said he met with Bangladeshi expatriates who expressed great warmth and love. “I am deeply moved by their affection. They have high expectations from the nation and want to contribute to its rebuilding. Yet, despite their significant contributions, we have not been able to show them proper respect,” he said.
This was his first visit to Sylhet after being elected Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami for the third consecutive term.
