Overview
- NCP convenor Nahid Islam confirmed the party has joined a Jamaat-e-Islami–led bloc and finalized seat sharing for the 2026 polls.
- Mahfuz Alam, a leading figure of the July 2024 uprising and former interim adviser, said he will not be part of "this NCP" under the current circumstances.
- Alam also denied receiving any proposal to run as a candidate for the Jamaat–NCP alliance.
- Thirty senior NCP leaders submitted a memorandum opposing the tie-up, citing Jamaat’s contested 1971 role as incompatible with the party’s values.
- Senior figures Tasnim Jara and Tajnuva Jabeen resigned in protest, while Islam described the alliance as a non-ideological electoral arrangement decided by a party majority.
