NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain said the party plans to contest the upcoming national election in alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami to build a corruption-free and reformed Bangladesh. He made the remarks on Sunday after a meeting between NCP representatives and senior officials of the US Embassy at the party’s temporary central office in Banglamotor, Dhaka. Hossain explained that the NCP and Jamaat share similar reform goals, which led to a natural alignment between them.

During the meeting, the NCP delegation briefed the US officials on the political and law-and-order situation, including recent killings and the lack of a level playing field. Hossain said the US representatives viewed the people’s democratic choices positively. He added that the NCP aims to maintain Bangladesh’s long-standing friendly relations with the United States while safeguarding national interests in foreign policy.

Hossain also mentioned that seat-sharing discussions within the alliance are ongoing and final decisions will be announced soon. The NCP expects to cross the electoral threshold with support from its 11-party coalition.
