DHAKA, Nov 22, 2023 (BSS) - Jatiya Party (JaPa) has decided to join in the 
upcoming 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) election slated for January 7, 2024 and 
contest in all 300 constituencies. 

"We have completed all preparations to join the upcoming parliament 
elections. JaPa will contest in all 300 constituencies without joining any 
alliance," a JaPa press release quoted party Secretary General Mujibul Haque 
Chunnu as he told journalists at a press briefing at the party's Banani 
office here this afternoon. 

JaPa Chairman GM Quader took the decision to join the elections following the 
assurance of the Election Commission and all the concerned authorities, he 
said, adding that the concerned authorities assured that the polls will be 
free, impartial and credible where the voters could exercise their franchise 
without any hindrance.

"As of noon today we have sold about 1,400 nomination forms. In almost every 
constituency, more than one aspirant candidate collected the nomination 
form," Chunnu said.

As per the party decision, JaPa will take part in the election as a single 
party instead of compromising seats with anyone, he added.
