Nearly 40 leaders and activists from the July uprising movement are expected to join the National Citizen Party (NCP). According to the report, the formal announcement may take place at the NCP central office in Banglamotor around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Among those joining are Ali Ahsan Junayed, Rafe Salaman Rifat, and Shahreen Sultana Ira, along with about 30 others, while around 10 more leaders are also likely to join.

The NCP has reportedly been working for some time to unite various July movement groups. The party has maintained communication and held several meetings with different organizations and platforms to advance this process. As a result, a major portion of the Up Bangladesh group is joining the NCP in the first phase.

After this initial integration, NCP plans to include Up Bangladesh leaders and activists in its grassroots committees, signaling a broader organizational merger effort.
