Japa worried about 16 out of 26 constituencies

Mahfuja Mukul: The Jatiya Party (JAPA), the main opposition party in the parliament, is not relieved after getting 26 seats in an agreement with the Awami League. Because, even though the Awami League left the seat, the party’s independent candidates remained in the polling field.
In at least three seats, Jappa’s rivals are the party’s unnominated leaders. As a result, Japa candidates are going to face tough competition in more than half of the seats.
Japa and local sources say that there is no chance of victory even if there are Japa candidates outside the consensus seats. In 10 of the consensual seats, Japa candidates are slightly favored. The rest have pressure.

Rezaul Islam Bhuiyan, member of Japa presidium, got Brahmanbaria-2 (Sarail-Ashuganj) seat in seat sharing. Even if the Awami League candidate withdraws, Rezaul has no chance to get relief.
