KHULNA, Dec 11, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General and former lawmaker Professor Mia Golam Parwar described the announcement of the national election schedule as a positive step, while stressing that ensuring a free, fair and acceptable election remains a major challenge.

He said Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami would fully cooperate with the Election Commission in efforts to hold an election that is free, fair and credible.

Parwar made the remarks while speaking to journalists this afternoon after carrying out a mass outreach programme in the Zero Point area of the district.

Parwar, who is also the party-nominated candidate for the Khulna-5 constituency, said a level playing field must be ensured so that all parties enjoy equal opportunity throughout the election process.

"This responsibility lies with the administration. No official should be expected to favour any particular candidate. Equal opportunity for all must be ensured," he said.

He further noted that after the election schedule is announced, all government officials fall under the jurisdiction of the Election Commission. "Therefore, no one should expect the administrative authorities to create opportunities for a specific candidate to win," he added.

Parwar said that the eight parties currently involved in the 'PR and Five-Point' movement do not want confrontation or violence. "For the sake of the country and the nation, we want to extend full cooperation to ensure an acceptable election," he said.

Earlier at noon, he addressed a views-exchange meeting with brickfield owners and workers at Allahr Dan Bricks in Kulbaria under Dumuria upazila.

The meeting was chaired by Abdul Latif Jamaddar, while Brick Kiln Owners Association chief adviser Abul Kalam Azad also spoke.

Parwar added that the eight parties in the newly formed platform have agreed to support single consensus candidates in all 300 constituencies. "Top leaders will decide on the most familiar and winnable candidates for each seat. Each area will have one candidate from the combined Islamic parties. This is our decision," he said.

Earlier in the morning, Parwar carried out another outreach programme at Kathaltala Bazar and exchanged views with teachers, students and locals at Mathbaria Qaumi Madrasa.
