The mood at Jamaat-e-Islami's headquarters now cannot be more different than it was yesterday.
Jamaat leaders and activists had been there until midnight on Friday, and had repeatedly said they were going to form the government, reprots the BBC.
But now that the BNP has won the election and are going to form the government, it is all quiet and sombre outside Jamaat's office in the Dhaka neighbourhood of Moghbazar. We saw a few Jamaat activists and journalists this morning, but the atmosphere was all very raw.
Although Jamaat failed to fulfill its goal of forming the next government, it is on track to deliver its strongest showing among all the elections it has participated in so far.
The party is expected to address the public after afternoon prayers today.
