The Islamic Democratic League (Bengali: ইসলামী গণতান্ত্রিক লীগ) was a political alliance in Bangladesh that brought together various Islamist parties on a single platform. The alliance was formed ahead of the second national election of 1979, where it succeeded in winning 6 seats in the Jatiya Sangsad.[1] This marked the first major effort at uniting Bangladesh's Islamist political groups under one banner. However, soon after its formation, disagreements emerged among the member parties regarding the alliance’s future direction and leadership. As a result, the coalition was unable to maintain unity and eventually disbanded.[2][3]
