About
The National Citizen Party (NCP) is a nascent political party in Bangladesh that emerged from a student-led uprising in 2024 which ended the 15-year rule of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Led by figures like Nahid Islam, the NCP contested the February 2026 parliamentary elections, the first since the uprising. The party is newsworthy due to its origins in the pro-democracy movement and its attempt to gain a foothold in Bangladesh's political landscape. In the recent election, the NCP secured six seats, becoming a junior partner in an opposition alliance. The party's leader, Nahid Islam, formed an alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami for the election, drawing mixed reactions. While the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) won a landslide victory, the NCP's performance and its alignment with other parties are significant in shaping Bangladesh's post-uprising political order.
