Thirty founding members of the National Citizen Party (NCP) have threatened to resign en masse if the party proceeds with a potential alliance with Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and the 8-party coalition. One of the female NCP leaders, who signed the letter, confirmed its contents to Dhaka Tribune. “If moderate people and those expecting new politics withdraw their support, we will lose the party’s moderate base in the future. This will damage NCP’s own centrist political agency,” the letter said. The members concluded by urging that “strategy should be determined based on principled positions; principled positions should not be sacrificed for strategic reasons,” while maintaining respect for party discipline.
