The 14-party opposition alliance is set to encounter the 4-party coalition in the upcoming general elections. The zero hour is drawing nearer. Still a lot of homework needs to be done to formulate the strategy, select appropriate candidates and decide what happens if there is no reform to the EC and caretaker government.

While discussing the election issue and seat distribution, the alliance must formulate a plan and make people aware of how they will approach the various issues once they form the government, how a corruption-free, nicely governed country based on the ideals of the liberation war can be ensured.

It's up to Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League to get ready for a great sacrifice. There is no option but to forge a greater unity to knock out corrupt anti-liberation forces from state power.
