Seat by seat: Who gets which seat in 11-party electoral alliance

Ahead of the upcoming 13th Jatiya Sangsad election, an 11-party alliance has announced a seat-sharing agreement, reaching consensus on fielding candidates in 253 out of the 300 parliamentary constituencies.

The announcement was made at a press conference held at 9:30 PM on Thursday (January 15) at the Muktijoddha Hall of the Diploma Engineers Institute in the capital. Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Dr Abdullah Mohammad Taher disclosed the decision on behalf of the alliance.

He said that under the seat-sharing arrangement, Jamaat-e-Islami will contest 179 seats, the National Citizen Party (NCP) 30 seats, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish 20 seats, Khelafat Majlish 10 seats, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) seven seats, Amar Bangladesh Party (AB Party) three seats, Bangladesh Development Party (BDP) two seats, and Nezam e Islam Party two seats.
Dr Taher added that decisions regarding the seats allocated for JAGPA and Khelafat Andolan have not yet been finalised.

Meanwhile, although 47 seats had been kept vacant for Islami Andolan Bangladesh, the party announced at a press conference on Friday afternoon that it would not join the alliance. Jamaat party sources said this could result in an increase in the number of seats allocated to the remaining alliance partners.
Based on the announced understanding, a preliminary list has been obtained detailing which of the 10 parties will contest which constituencies.
