DHAKA – In a significant development in Bangladesh’s political landscape, a new youth-led political party, the Jatiya Nagorik Party (JNP), also known as the National Citizen Party (NCP), is set to be officially launched today in Dhaka. This emerging political force is being spearheaded by student leaders and young activists who played a pivotal role in compelling former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee to India on August 5, 2024.
Nahid Islam, a former member of the interim government led by Nobel laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, has been chosen as the convener of the JNP/NCP. The party aims to bring about transformative change in Bangladesh, reflecting the aspirations of a new generation seeking political and social reform.
Invitation Extended to Interim Government Leader
A delegation led by Abdul Hannan Masud, a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, personally delivered an invitation to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus to attend the inauguration ceremony. Masud later shared this development on Facebook, stating, “I handed over the invitation letter for the unveiling ceremony of the new political party after 2024 and took blessings.”
Leadership Structure of JNP/NCP
The party’s leadership has been finalized with key figures taking on crucial roles:
- Convener: Nahid Islam
- Member Secretary: Akhter Hossain
- Chief Coordinator: Nasiruddin Patwari
- Senior Joint Convenor: Samanta Sharmin

A Vision for a New Bangladesh
The JNP/NCP has positioned itself as a party driven by the youth, advocating for democracy, transparency, and social justice. With its formation, the political landscape in Bangladesh is set for a significant shift, as young leaders strive to build a government that prioritizes the people’s interests.
As the country prepares for its next national elections, all eyes will be on the JNP/NCP and its impact on the future of Bangladesh’s democracy.
