The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has initiated a process to reorganize its Swechchhasebak Dal leadership as part of broader efforts to strengthen the party’s organizational structure ahead of its upcoming national council. Party sources said the new committee could be announced soon, as the current one, formed in 2022, has already expired. The move is part of BNP’s plan to separate government and party responsibilities, since the current president and general secretary of the Swechchhasebak Dal hold government positions and cannot devote sufficient time to party activities.

BNP leaders said preparations for the national council, the first in nearly a decade, are being intensified, with plans to hold it later this year or early next year. The reorganization of affiliated and district committees is also under consideration to make the party more active in the current political context. The initiative has sparked renewed enthusiasm among grassroots members.

Names under discussion for top Swechchhasebak Dal positions include senior vice president Yasin Ali, vice president Fakhrul Islam Robin, and organizational secretary Nazmul Hasan. The new committee is expected to be formed soon, according to BNP’s volunteer affairs secretary Mir Sarafat Ali Sapu.
