Our History

The National Citizen Party (NCP) was born from the July 2024 uprising and the Students Against Discrimination movement. Our journey represents a new chapter in Bangladesh's political history as the first student-led political party.

Background (July 2024)

The July 2024 uprising marked a turning point in Bangladesh's political landscape. Student protests and demonstrations across the country highlighted the need for change and gave rise to the Students Against Discrimination movement. This period of unrest and activism laid the foundation for what would become the National Citizen Party.

Preparations (December 2024 - February 2025)

Following the July uprising, student rights activists and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee (National Citizen's Committee) began organizing and planning for a new political movement. This period saw the consolidation of ideas, formation of alliances, and preparation for the official launch of a student-led political party.

Establishment (February 28, 2025)

On February 28, 2025, the National Citizen Party was officially established, marking a historic moment as Bangladesh's first student-led political party. The party was founded with Nahid Islam as Leader, Akhter Hossen as Secretary, and Saleh Uddin Sifat as Spokesperson.

Committee Formation (February 28, 2025)

The same day, NCP announced a 151-member committee with Nahid Islam as convener. This diverse committee represented people of different ideologies, reflecting the party's inclusive approach to political organization.

Political Wings Development (March 2025)

In March 2025, NCP began forming its political wings, including the National Youth Power (youth wing), NCP Worker's Wing (161 members), and NCP Doctor's Wing. These specialized wings were designed to represent different sectors of society and expand the party's reach.
