Two leaders have resigned from the National Citizen Party (NCP) after raising objections to the party’s proposed electoral alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami.
Mushfiq Us Salehin, joint member secretary of the NCP, submitted his resignation letter to the party convenor on Thursday afternoon.
On Saturday, 30 central leaders of the NCP submitted a memorandum to Convenor Nahid Islam opposing any alliance with Jamaat.
Mushfiq was listed as the first signatory to that memorandum.
Speaking to bdnews24.com, he said: “The future political direction I see for the NCP does not align with my personal views. That is why I have resigned.”
Another resignation followed Mushfiq’s.
Khan Muhammad Mursaleen, the party’s joint chief coordinator, announced his departure in a Facebook post.
Earlier, on Wednesday, NCP joint convenor and head of the Policy and Research Wing Khaled Saifullah resigned from the party.
The NCP formally announced an electoral seat-sharing arrangement with Jamaat-e-Islami on Sunday afternoon. On the same day, joint convenor Tajnuva Jabeen stepped down.
A day earlier, Tasnim Jara, the party’s senior joint member secretary, also resigned.
The NCP, formed in February 2025, emerged from the front-line leaders of the 2024 mass uprising, pledging to introduce a “new political settlement” in national politics.
