Islami Andolan Bangladesh (Bengali: ইসলামী আন্দোলন বাংলাদেশ, lit. 'Islamic Movement of Bangladesh'), abbreviated as IAB, is a major Islamist political party in Bangladesh.[3] It was founded in 1987 by Fazlul Karim as Islami Shashontantra Andolan (Islamic Constitutional Movement), and took its current name in 2008.[4]
The party maintains distance from both of the dominant parties in Bangladesh, Awami League and Bangladesh Nationalist Party. In the recent years, the party has gradually done well in the local government elections. The number of votes of the party has increased also in the national polls.[5]
