Jatiya Party to vie in 283 JS seats: Chunnu

Jatiya Party (JP) Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu today said their party will take part in the Januray 7 general election by fielding candidates in 283 constituencies of the Jatiya Sangsad (JS).

Noting that JP did not reach any consensus over seat sharing, he said: "No alliance has been made. Seats have not been compromised. However, there are some strategies in some seats."

He said these during a press briefing at the JP chairman's office in the capital's Banani.

Today was the last day of withdrawing nomination papers.

Earlier around 1 pm, Chunnu said that whether JP is in polls or not would be informed in the afternoon. Later, the announcement of contesting in 283 seats came.
