The National Citizen Party (NCP) has issued a clarification regarding confusion surrounding its convener Nahid Islam’s election affidavit, which recently circulated on social media. The party stated that misinformation was being spread about Islam’s declared total assets of 3.2 million taka. In a message sent on Thursday night, NCP joint member secretary Tamim Ahmed explained that Islam’s income during his tenure as an interim government adviser amounted to 1.136 million taka, with an average monthly salary of 165,000 taka over seven months. After resigning, he began working as a consultant at a private firm with a monthly honorarium of 100,000 taka, bringing his total annual income to 1.6 million taka for the 2024–25 fiscal year, on which he paid 113,274 taka in income tax. The statement further detailed that Islam’s declared assets of 3.216 million taka include earnings from his advisory and consultancy roles, cash in hand, previous savings, and gifts received from relatives at events and weddings. The NCP also denied claims that Islam’s profession was listed as teaching, clarifying that his affidavit identifies him as a consultant and former government adviser. It added that he currently holds only two bank accounts: one at Sonali Bank and another at City Bank opened for election expenses.
