The National Citizen Party (NCP) has restructured its central election steering committee ahead of the 13th National Parliamentary Election. According to a press release signed by convener Nahid Islam and member secretary Akhtar Hossain, the party’s new spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan has been appointed chairman, while joint convener Monira Sharmin has been named secretary. The committee will oversee overall election preparations, field coordination, legal and administrative activities, media and campaign management, monitoring, and advocacy for a ‘yes’ vote in the referendum.

The newly formed committee includes 29 members, among them Barrister Omar Faruk, Nusrat Tabassum Jyoti, Tanzil Mahmud, Advocate Zahirul Islam Musa, Advocate Humayra Noor, Akram Hossain, and others. Previously, on November 4, NCP had formed a committee led by Nasiruddin Patwari and Tasnim Zara, but several central leaders resigned following an electoral understanding with Jamaat-e-Islami. On December 29, Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan joined the party and assumed the roles of spokesperson and committee head, while Monira Sharmin withdrew her candidacy from Naogaon-5 after the Jamaat deal.
