The Bangladesh Citizens’ Party (BCP) has lodged a formal objection with the Election Commission regarding the abbreviation of the newly formed National Citizens’ Party (NCP). In a written statement, BCP argued that the correct abbreviation should be “JNP” instead of “NCP.” They emphasized that regardless of the language in which a proper noun is written, its fundamental identity should not change.

BCP’s General Secretary stated that the new party will play a significant role in establishing democracy in Bangladesh. He noted that these young leaders have already contributed to the downfall of the authoritarian Awami League government. Given this context, inconsistencies in a party’s name would be regrettable. BCP has urged the Election Commission to carefully scrutinize such matters during the party registration process.
