Jamaat not to form any election alliance: Ameer Shafiqur
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman today (5 November) said they would not form any alliance for the upcoming national election, as they will contest the polls independently.
Shafiqur made the remarks while speaking to reporters at Sylhet Osmani International Airport today morning.
The party will ensure the elections are held in February 2026 with the participation of everyone. If elections are delayed, it may lead to various forms of unrest, he said.

Regarding the electoral alliances, he said, "We have not decided to form any alliance, and we will not form one," he said, adding that there is no scope for the Awami League in the upcoming election.
Speaking about his recent foreign visit, Rahman said he met with Bangladeshi expatriates abroad, who expressed immense warmth and love.
"I am deeply moved by their affection. They have high expectations of 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.
It was his first visit to Sylhet after being elected Ameer of the party for the third term.
