The ruling Awami League has offered to withdraw from seven parliamentary races in favour of its partners in the 14 Party Alliance. Three of these seats will be contested by JASAD, three by the Workers Party, and one by the Jatiya Party JP, according to Amir Hossain Amu, the convener of the alliance. “We sat with leaders from the 14 Party Alliance today and a decision was finalised,” he said. However, leaders from the 14 Party Alliance have not yet agreed to the deal. JASAD chief Hasanul Haq Inu said he 'politely declined' the offer, pushing for more seats and assurances that Awami League leaders would not run as independents in the constituencies on offer.
