A new political alliance comprising three Bangladeshi parties, including the National Citizen Party (NCP), is set to be formally announced this Sunday afternoon at the Dhaka Reporters Unity in Segunbagicha. The coalition marks another attempt to reshape the country’s opposition landscape ahead of future elections.
Discussions had been ongoing among four parties — NCP, AB Party, Bangladesh State Reform Movement, and Gana Adhikar Parishad — to form a joint electoral front. However, the Gana Adhikar Parishad ultimately decided not to join. The alliance, according to party representatives, aims to uphold the ‘July Uprising Pledge’ and promote a new political and electoral framework in Bangladesh.
Political analysts view the move as part of a broader trend of smaller parties seeking relevance amid shifting power dynamics. The alliance’s effectiveness will depend on its ability to coordinate agendas and attract voter attention in an already crowded political field.
