The National Citizens Party (NCP) has announced candidates for 100 upazilas and municipalities as part of its initial list for the upcoming local government elections. The announcement was made on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at the party’s temporary office by chief organizer Sarjis Alam, who confirmed that the declared names include 100 NCP-supported candidates for upazila chairman and municipal mayor positions.

According to Sarjis Alam, the party received over a thousand applications for nomination. From these, 100 names were selected for the first phase, with a second list of another 100 candidates expected to be announced on May 20, before the upcoming Eid. He added that the selection process will continue in phases.
