‘We will sit in the passenger seats,’ Shafiqur Rahman says in televised address

At a Dhaka-11 rally, Shafiqur Rahman calls on alliance activists to prevent vote tampering on Feb 12

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has rejected a Jamaat-e-Islami suggestion to form a unity government after next week’s election, saying his party expects to secure a mandate on its own.

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Shafiqur Rahman yesterday warned that voters would show a “red card” in the February 12 national elections to those who fail to recognise the spirit of the 2024 mass uprising.

While the government insists that this will be the cleanest election in the country’s history, it remains uncertain whether sufficient safeguards and scrutiny are in place—within the Election Commission, among observers, or in the media—to prevent rigging
