After various dramas, Awami League has given 26 seats to the Jatiya Party(JP) in the 12th JS elections. However, even if there is no boat symbol, they will have to fight against independent candidates of Awami League. In that case, the JP candidates may face tumble.

Earlier, Awami League announced its candidacy for 298 seats on November 25. Since then, meetings have been held with the Jatiya Party and 14 party partners regarding the distribution of seats. Finally, on the last day of withdrawal of nominations on December 17, the party came to an agreement with the partners regarding seat distribution. It can be seen there that Awami League left 26 seats for Jatiya Party and 6 seats for 14 party partners.

Even before the election, the Jatiya Party has announced to field candidates in 300 seats but has changed its word time and again. In the end, the party is contesting in 283 seats. Apart from the 26 seats left by Awami League, the party will contest with a plough in all the remaining seats.

The meeting with Awami League about the distribution of seats was also hidden. The president of the party also avoided the media including the party leaders and workers for some time. In that case, there is uncertainty about coming to the election. However, after ending all doubts, the party came to the election with a compromise of 26 seats.

Awami League has not come to any agreement regarding the independent candidates despite the withdrawal of boat candidates from the seats left for the Jatiya Party. In that case, the Plough candidates will have to face competition from Awami League's heavyweight independent candidates including the current parliament members. In such a situation, many people think that many candidates may have to lose their security.

Talking to the party's leaders and activists at different levels, it is known that they are also worried about this. But they also expressed optimism about winning. Even if Awami League does not have a boat, he thinks that the party's leaders and workers will work for independent candidates. In that case, they want the intervention of the policy makers of Awami League so that the leaders and activists of Awami League work for the plough.

According to related sources, Jatiya Party candidates are more worried about the hidden boat than the open boat. In such a situation, they felt that a lot of victory or defeat depends on how much the local leaders and activists of Awami League can pull for them. An analysis of the 26 seats withdrawn by the Awami League for the Jatiya Party shows that in most of them, Plough will have to fight against the independents of the Awami League. There the result will be decided in the bone fight. Therefore, even if there is no boat, the fear of the plough candidates is not over.
