Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman on Monday said the alliance is expected to make a final announcement on seat-sharing either on Tuesday or Wednesday.
He made the remarks while speaking to reporters after meeting a three-member delegation led by Ivars Ijabs, chief observer of the European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission and a Member of the European Parliament, at the Jamaat Ameer’s office in Bashundhara in the afternoon.
Asked about the formation of an 11-party alliance, including Jamaat and the National Citizen Party (NCP), Dr Shafiqur said, “You will receive an invitation tomorrow; if not, then the day after. We will come together publicly.”
During the meeting, the EU delegation said a 200-member observation team would monitor the upcoming national parliamentary elections across districts and city corporation areas.
amaat-e-Islami officials present at the meeting included Assistant Secretary General and head of the central publicity and media department Advocate Ahsanul Mahboob Zubair, educationist Dr Jubayer Ahmed, development team lead Dewan Alamgir, and the Ameer’s foreign affairs adviser Prof Dr Mahmudul Hasan.
Both sides discussed the issues of mutual interest and emphasised close cooperation to ensure free, fair and credible elections, alongside efforts to strengthen Bangladesh’s constitutional and democratic institutions.
They also expressed optimism that EU–Bangladesh bilateral relations, development cooperation and overall progress would continue in the future.
