10-party alliance getting the Awami League's votes? Political heat surrounds Nowfel's statement


Published: 03:23 24 January 2026
A speech by former Awami League state minister Barrister Sheikh Fazle Nowfel on the eve of the election has sparked new discussions and debates in the political arena. Praising the 'humanity' of Jamaat leaders and activists and at the same time criticizing BNP in harsh terms, the question has arisen - is the Awami League's vote taking a turn towards the 10-party alliance, especially Jamaat-friendly politics?
In a speech, Nowfel said that Jamaat leaders and activists have played a positive role in society through humanitarian activities at various times, which adds a different dimension to political reality. He also warned the public about the party's 'terrible form' by accusing BNP of burning houses, seizing businesses and filing lawsuits.
In his words, BNP's such political behavior is a threat to the country and society and the people should consider these issues seriously during the election.
There are differences of opinion among political analysts regarding Nawfel's statement. Some believe that the praise of Jamaat and the strong anti-BNP stance from an influential former leader of the Awami League just before the elections carries a clear political message for the leaders, workers and supporters of the Awami League. This also raises the question of whether they will be encouraged to vote for the candidates of the 10-party alliance to protect their political future or 'save their backs'.
However, in the same statement, Nawfel also mentioned ideological similarities with the BNP, which has made the entire political equation more complicated. According to a section of the political community, this is not a direct declaration of support for any alliance; rather, it is an attempt to score votes using a different strategy while keeping the anti-BNP stance in mind.
As the election day approaches, the interest of ordinary voters and political observers is increasing as to what impact Nawfel's statement will have on the mutual political equation between the Awami League, BNP and the 10-party alliance.
