NCP to Unveil Candidate List by November 15

NCP convener Nahid Islam was speaking to reporters while visiting the family of late freedom fighter Gazi Salahuddin in Godnail, Narayanganj.

The Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) will announce its list of candidates for the upcoming national election by November 15, party convener Nahid Islam said on Wednesday.

He made the remarks while visiting the family of late freedom fighter Gazi Salahuddin in Godnail, Narayanganj. Speaking to reporters, Nahid Islam said that the party’s decision on forming alliances with other political groups would depend entirely on shared principles and reform commitments.

“Any coalition must be based on ideological alignment. If any party agrees to our reform proposals outlined in the July Charter, then we may consider joining hands,” he stated. He confirmed that the party will release its preliminary list of candidates within the second week of November.

Nahid Islam also stressed the importance of honouring the sacrifices of freedom fighters and their families. “The families of the injured and martyred still require long-term support and care. We must not neglect them in the rush of election activities,” he said.

He further mentioned that the constituency of former prime minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will remain uncontested by the NCP, as a gesture of respect.

Highlighting the party’s stance against entrenched political malpractice, Nahid Islam said that the NCP aims to challenge what he described as the “toxic culture” of muscle power, black money, and local political domination.

“Our politics today is often controlled by those with influence, financial might, and coercive networks. The NCP will stand against this culture and offer people an honest, citizen-focused alternative,” he added.

The party is expected to intensify its organisational activities across constituencies ahead of the election schedule announcement.
