The National Citizen Party (NCP) has finalized its constitution, introducing a three-year term for the central committee and a provision restricting any individual from holding the positions of president or general secretary more than twice. The new constitution received final approval at a general meeting held on Friday, according to Akhtar Hossain, the party’s member secretary.
Hossain explained that the central president and general secretary will be elected independently through votes by councilors from across the country. The party must complete its next council within the last three months of the current term. Additionally, the central president and general secretary will be accountable to the party’s political council.
The political council will consist of 11 to 15 members, including at least three female members, all elected by the councilors. This new framework aims to enhance internal democracy and gender representation within the party leadership.
