Jatiya Party (JaPa) Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu said on Wednesday (22 November), JaPa will participate in the upcoming 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) election.
"We have decided to join the elections following the assurance of the Election Commission and the government," he said during a press briefing on Wednesday.
The JaPa leader also added that the party will contest the election with candidates in 300 constituencies.
"We have not discussed colation with any party yet. We are not even thinking about that," Chunnu said.
He further stated that if the expelled leaders choose to run for office from JaPa, the party chairman will determine whether to reinstate them.
Earlier, Chunnu stated that because there is no obvious effort to begin political negotiations, the JaPa would determine whether or not to participate in the next national election within a couple of days.
Chunnu said, "Our senior leaders will convene a meeting of our praesidium members, if necessary, and we'll decide through discussions within a day or two whether we will go to the polls or not".
