The Nationalist Citizen Party (NCP) is preparing to apply for registration as a political party with the Election Commission by Sunday. Senior Joint Convener of the NCP, Ariful Islam Adib, confirmed that the party’s draft constitution has already been finalized.
According to the rules of the Election Commission (EC), a party seeking registration must have a central committee, established offices in at least one-third of the country’s districts (with a central office), and presence in at least 100 upazilas or metropolitan police station areas. Additionally, specific clauses must be included in the party’s constitution.
Sources within the NCP said that they have already formed coordination committees in 33 districts and 127 upazilas across the country. Regarding the progress, Ariful Islam Adib said, “We will submit our registration application by Sunday. The draft constitution is finalized and will be presented at the general meeting scheduled for Friday for final approval.”
