The 4 party alliance needs 287 seats more to ensure a complete whitewash! The possible scenario that will give full satisfaction to the Jote to run the government for the next five years would be :

BNP : ( Ruling Party) : 201
Jamaat : (Opposition Party) : 79
JP (Naziur): 10
IOJ : (third majority) : 5
Independent and small parties : 5

Total : 300

This will ensure BNP retaining full control of the parliament through a two-third majority in the event their friends ever turn out to be foes.

Whether the parliament will meet the same fate following the 1996 February election is however a separate, yet interesting issue to watch!
