Renowned activist and actor Ilias Kanchan has announced the formation of a new political party, ‘Janata Party Bangladesh,’ pledging to work for the country with honesty and dedication. As chairman, he stated, “Just as I have previously served the people of this country with sincerity, I will continue to do so through this party.”

Highlighting the lack of support from previous governments during the Safe Roads Movement, Kanchan emphasized the need for genuine political will and cooperation from the current administration.

Party Secretary General Shawkat Mahmud said the Janata Party aims to be a centrist force rooted in liberal democracy. He stressed that the party will take a firm stance against authoritarianism. Calling for a new national unity, he described the “July Revolution Charter” as essential for the future of the nation.
