Bangladesh's Jamaat-e-Islami party, recently unbanned and poised for a strong showing in February elections, has expressed openness to joining a unity government. Party chief Shafiqur Rahman stated that stability and anti-corruption would be key agendas. Jamaat, which previously allied with the BNP, aims to broaden its appeal beyond its conservative base, advocating for Islamic governance under sharia law. This resurgence follows the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose party is now barred from the election.
