The National Citizen Party (NCP) has finalized its candidates for 100 constituencies ahead of Bangladesh’s upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. Joint Convener Sarowar Tushar confirmed that the initial list is ready and will be officially announced today, barring any last-minute changes. The remaining seats will be settled later this month through alliance-based negotiations.

Party insiders said the selection process prioritized professionals and young reform-minded individuals over family-based leadership. NCP sold 1,484 nomination forms between November 6 and 20. However, internal dissatisfaction has surfaced, with some leaders alleging interference by senior advisers and favoritism toward family members in seat allocation.

Key figures such as Convener Nahid Islam, Member Secretary Akhter Hossain, and several regional organizers are among the confirmed candidates. The party recently formed the ‘Democratic Reform Alliance’ with Nahid Islam as spokesperson, signaling its broader reformist agenda ahead of the election.
