National Citizen Party

The National Citizen Party (NCP) is a student-led political organization in Bangladesh. Formed in the wake of the 2024 student uprising that ousted longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the NCP represents a new political force in the country. While not explicitly mentioned as winning seats, the NCP's emergence and participation in the recent elections are noteworthy. The party's convener, Nahid Islam, was a candidate in the national election. The NCP's relevance stems from its connection to the widespread protests that led to significant political change, and its potential to influence the future direction of Bangladeshi politics, particularly in light of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) recent landslide victory and the subsequent referendum on constitutional reforms.
