The National Citizen Party (NCP) is facing internal division as its alliance or seat-sharing arrangement with Jamaat-e-Islami and seven like-minded parties nears finalization. According to party sources, around 90 percent of the executive council and 80 percent of the central committee members supported the move, and a formal announcement could come on Sunday. However, 30 central leaders submitted a letter to convener Nahid Islam expressing principled objections, citing concerns over the party’s ideals and the historical role of Jamaat. Senior joint member secretary Dr. Tasnim Zara resigned from the party on Saturday to run as an independent candidate in Dhaka-9. The dissenting leaders argued that joining Jamaat would weaken NCP’s moral position and contradict the spirit of the July uprising. Some signatories later claimed their names were added without consent. NCP leaders said the decision followed failed seat-sharing talks with the BNP and was driven by the need to ensure representation of July revolution supporters in the next parliament. Jamaat’s leadership also indicated that a final announcement on seat-sharing among eight parties could come today. The alliance decision comes just before Monday’s nomination submission deadline, making finalization urgent for both parties.
