Like-minded 10 Parties




The 11 Party Alliance, simply referred to as the 11 Parties, is a big tent electoral alliance of eleven political parties in Bangladesh. The alliance is led by the Jamaat-e-Islami. The parties are competing in the upcoming general election.
The alliance was established as Like-minded 8 Parties in October 2025 as an attempt of uniting the Islamist parties in the country. The eight parties campaigned and rallied for various demands, including the legal basis of the July Charter, a referendum before the election, proportional representation in the proposed upper house of Jatiya Sangsad, and ensuring a level playing field in the election. In late December, the National Citizen Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and Amar Bangladesh Party joined the alliance making it an alliance of 11 parties. Later on January 2026, the Islami Andolan Bangladesh left reducing the number to 10 but then the Bangladesh Labour Party joined the alliance to bring the number of parties back to 11.

Background

Following the July Revolution of 2024, the Jamaat-e-Islami has actively attempted to unite the Islamist parties of the country into a single alliance. Although some ideological disputes remained, top leaders of various Islamist parties expressed interest for creating a unified alliance of Islamists. The Jamaat-e-Islami also announced that it was liberal to provide maximum discount for the cause of alliance.
The party started holding meetings with various political parties on 15 August 2024, including the Islami Andolan Bangladesh, the, the Zaker Party, the, the Khelafat Majlis, and the Faraizi Andolan. However, the issues of contention among the Islamic clerics over the religious views of the Jamaat-e-Islami founder Abul A'la Maududi became a hindrance for the party for forging an alliance.
On 21 January 2025, Shafiqur Rahman, the party leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami, visited the durbar of Syed Rezaul Karim, the pir of Charmonai and leader of the Islami Andolan Bangladesh, in Barishal, and expressed optimism for the alliance of Islamists.
The Islami Andolan Bangladesh withdrew from the alliance, expressing dissatisfaction with the seat agreement.
On 24 January, Bangladesh Labour Party joined the alliance making it 11 party again.

Five-point demands movement

On 11 November 2025, then eight parties organized a rally in Dhaka demanding five points, that include—
  1. Legal basis of the July Charter
  2. Holding referendum before the general election
  3. Level playing field for a fair election
  4. Visibility of the justice for the July massacre
  5. Ban on activities of the Jatiya Party and the Grand Alliance
The parties thanked Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus for issuing the July Charter implementation order, but denounced the decision to hold referendum alongside the general election. The parties declared joint programmes serially between 30 November and 6 December in all divisional towns to demand referendum before the election.

Electoral strategy

The parties have decided to compete under the "one box policy", meaning that the alliance will nominate a single candidate from an affiliated party to each constituencies, and other associated parties will not nominate anyone to the respective constituency.
