💨 Abstract

A once-banned Bangladeshi Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami, is poised for a strong showing in the upcoming parliamentary election. The party, which advocates Islamic governance, is open to forming a unity government and has held talks with several parties. Jamaat's resurgence follows the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who had banned the party. The party's chief, Shafiqur Rahman, emphasizes anti-corruption as a key agenda.
