Bangladesh’s student-led NCP party: Six seats, big goals, Election 2026.

The National Citizen Party (NCP) in Bangladesh, formed by student leaders after a 2024 uprising, faced challenges in the recent election. Despite initial momentum, the party only won six out of 30 seats it contested. The NCP formed a coalition with the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party, sparking internal tensions within the NCP due to ideological differences. Some senior party leaders resigned over the alliance. The NCP plans to contest local elections independently in the future. The party sees itself as a new alternative in Bangladeshi politics, aiming to address a leadership crisis and provide a fresh perspective for the country’s political landscape.
