The Awami League sees no need to form a Grand Alliance with the Jatiya Party to win the general election. On whether the Awami League will leave some seats to the Jatiya Party if there is a Grand Alliance or not, he said, "That possibility is still there." The Awami League has negotiated seats with the Jatiya Party and 14-Party Alliance partners in each of the three elections since the 2008 ninth parliamentary elections. Even though the Jatiya Party was not part of the Awami League-led alliance, the Awami League did not field candidates in 23 constituencies where the Jatiya Party had strong contestants. Now the main opposition in parliament, the Jatiya Party won those seats in the last two terms.
