Students have formed the National Citizen Party (NCP) to disrupt Bangladesh's political duopoly, led by Nahid Islam, a prominent protest leader. The party aims to establish a new democratic constitution following Sheikh Hasina's government ousting last year, prompted by mass protests. Hasina currently remains in exile in India as Bangladesh faces political instability and public discontent over corruption and inequality. Many citizens view the NCP's emergence as a potential solution to limited electoral options and are hopeful for meaningful political change.
"We believe the July 2024 uprising initiated the fight towards a second republic. By writing a new democratic constitution, we must eliminate any possibility of future constitutional autocracy."
"The emergence of a third or fourth force could provide much-needed relief for the electorate."
