THT Report • October 22, 2026

Seven Islamic parties have agreed to work together under a new political platform named ‘Like-Minded Islamic Parties’, following an initiative led by Hefazat-e-Islam.

Hefazat-e-Islam Secretary General Sajidur Rahman announced the decision after a meeting of the seven parties at Makhzanul Uloom Madrasa in Dhaka’s Khilgaon area on Thursday (October 22).

He said parties currently affiliated with other alliances had agreed to leave those alliances and join the new platform. The seven parties will hold their next meeting on December 5.

Sajidur Rahman said Hefazat-e-Islam was helping unite like-minded Islamic parties in the interests of the country, the nation and Islam. However, he said Hefazat would continue to maintain its non-partisan position.

The seven parties are Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh, Khelafat Majlis, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan, Islami Oikya Jote and Bangladesh Nezam-e-Islam Party.
