Dhaka, Bangladesh – Bangladeshi students who led the mass protests launched last year to nullify Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina a political party before the parliamentary elections expected next year.

In his speech with a gathering of a gathering on Manic Mia Street adjacent to the parliament building in the capital on Friday, the leaders of the new National Citizen Party (NCP) insisted that they will follow the policy of national unity on division, transparency, and good judgment on corruption, and an independent external policy to build a “second republic”.

Lima more, the sister of Ismail Hussein Rabbi – who was among the dead in the hands of the security forces during the July against Al -Hasina – that Islam will be the new party’s organizer.

Islam-the 26-year-id poy of the July UPRISING, which topled Hasina, and Later The Active Head of Bangladesh’s Ministry of Information and BroadCasting-Will Lead The New Party. Islam resigned on Tuesday from the interim government, headed by the Nobel Peace Prize holder, Mohamed Yunus, to take over the leadership of the new party, which will initially obtain a central committee of about 150 members.

Yunus, who headed the interim government since Hasina’s exit in August, said that the general elections will be held by December or early 2026.

“We did not have freedom of expression under the previous regime. We do not want violence in educational institutions in the name of politics. Corruption is still a major obstacle to our progress, and we want a permanent end to it. This new party is our hope,” said Shadoul Al -Islam, who demanded nursing in the third year at the College of Nursing in Ghazi Munibor Rahman in the coastal region of Batocaly, who was at the launch event on Friday.

On Wednesday, the former leaders of students against discrimination (SAD), the movement of students that overthrew the Awami League government in Hasina, a new student organization, Ganatantrik Chhatra Sangsad, or the Democratic Student Council (DSC), at a press conference that witnessed a brief shortening between a sad Flyn.

According to DSC leaders, SAD was formed to organize the July movement with the participation of students associated with the wings of different political parties who have since returned to their organizations. In addition, many of its leaders have now joined the new political party.

“We formed this new organization to support the spirit of the July movement among students,” said Abu Baker Mazumar of the DSC conference at the group’s launch.

He stressed that the organization will remain independent and will not follow any political party, including the National Party.

However, analysts view this as an alliance of the new party, as they share the same spirit of the July movement.

A new chapter in Bangladesh’s policy

Political analysts said that the youth -led National Congress Party aims to increase Bangladesh The political sceneIt is dominated for decades by two family breeds led by a woman. Hasina’s family descends from the country’s founding leader, Sheikh Mujib Al -Rahman, who was also the founder of the Awami League. Then there is the family of the former Prime Minister, Khaleda Diaa. Diaa’s late husband, former military ruler Zour Rahman, founded the main opposition National Party Bangladesh (BNP).

Hasina, the 76 -year -old, sought to exile in neighboring India when the students led by students forced her to power. Its 15-year-old government was distinguished by the country’s major economic gains-wide-ranging guests from corruption and violations of rights and authoritarianism.

BNP, who hopes to control the upcoming parliamentary elections, heads Diaa Mazer, 79, and her son, Tarik Rahman. Diaa was transferred last month to London, where her son lived in exile, to treat liver and heart complications.

Besides the two main political groups, Islamic organizations such as Bengi, the Islamic Group (BJI), and the left -wing groups, such as the Communist Party in Bangladesh, have so far been preserved as influential pressure groups in Bangladesh’s policy.

The newly formed party leaders claimed that Bangladesh’s policy has been defined long ago by what they consider “divisive breakdown lines” – secular against Islamic law or the loyalty of people towards Pakistan or their homeland during the liberation movement in 1971.

They argued that these divisions prompted cases of livelihoods, health and education to margins. The group, which often allied with BNP politically, opposed the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan.

“In Bangladesh tomorrow, we do not want these departments to continue.” Achits Hosen, who was appointed in the name of a member of the new party, said that “we want to secure equal rights for all, whether it is a university professor or a person from the lower classes of society, whether it is a daily worker or a clothes worker, without any discrimination.”

The founders of the party said that they have gathered opinions of nearly 200,000 people, via the Internet and not connected, on this type of policy that they should follow and the issues that need urgent attention. They said that the responses reveal a strong desire to eradicate corruption and reformist education and ensure comprehensive access to health care.

Speaking from the theater on Friday, Islam said: “There will be no place for the policy in support of India or the supporter of Pakistan in Bangladesh. We will rebuild the state with Bangladesh in the center, while preserving the interests of its people first.”

Speaking to Al -Jazeera, Akhtar said that the new party would take into account ideological divisions.

He said: “Our policy will be about good rule, ensuring equality and securing civil benefits for all.”

Akhtar said that the new party is inspired by similar parties abroad: the AAP party in India, the Cricket science that turned into the politician of Imran Khan Pakistan Tweik-Insaf (PTI) in Pakistan, and the Justice and Development Party in Turki (AK). Akhtar said that the circumstances that strengthened the creation of these political movements were also present in Bangladesh.

AAP was born of a famous anti -corruption movement in 2012 and ruled the National Territory in Delhi in India for more than a decade until the Hindu majority Party defeated it BJP this month. AAP still rules the Northern Indian Punjab state.

Khan PTI broke the strangling of the two main parties in Pakistan-the Pakistani Muslim Association (Nawaz) and the Pakistani People’s Party-to win the 2018 elections. In 2022, the authority was lost after the removal of Khan, the then Prime Minister, in a vote of lack of confidence. He is now in prison due to a large number of cases that insist that they have political motives. Despite these setbacks, the party remains the most popular political power in Pakistan, as shown in the national elections for the past year, where PTI-candidates who were forced to compete as independent devices after the party lost its symbol-the largest part of the seats in Parliament.

The Tayyip Erdogan has governed nearly 25 years ago, although it now sees signs of great challenges on its authority.

“It does not mean that we will repeat those parties,” said Akhtal’s inspiration from these movements.

He said: “Bangladesh has its own unique context, and we aim to develop a distinct example.”

A hard road forward

But analysts said that the new party will face a series of challenges and overcome the internal rift, present a unified front and present itself as distinct from the existing political entities, will be its main immediate conflicts.

Shortly after joining the interim government, student leaders announced the formation of a committee of national citizens (NCC), a platform aimed at uniting people from various political backgrounds as the country is rebuilding itself after Hasina.

The idea was to present a new political compressed to the people of Bangladesh. However, since childhood talks began in a new political party last month, conflicts have emerged inside NCC because most factions agree on Islam as their leader but collide with other major positions.

On Wednesday, Ali Best Zond and Raf Salman Rifat – two former leaders in the Islamic Bangladesh Chatshebeer, the student wing in the group, who were also part of SAD – on Facebook that he would not join the new party.

They and other leaders of the group’s students have claimed that they are being removed from the main positions of the new party because of their political affiliation. Zonaed said in office he wished the new party well. However, Aria Al -Islam, the joint secretary of the new party, told Al -Jazeera that the division suggestions were exaggerated and the leaders of the group associated with the group may include leadership positions at a later time.

Political analyst Zahid Rahman, who believes that the new force led by students has already taken some errors, said that these tensions, which played in the open, reflect the challenges that the new party will face.

He pointed to how some student leaders, unlike Islam, remain in the interim government. It is unclear whether they may join the new party or when they may join the new party. “By joining the interim government, they share its successes and failures.”

Rahman said that the party included numbers from all over the ideological spectrum, from leftists to conservatives, which led to fears of “internal ideological friction.” He added that it could prevent the party from becoming a “coherent force.”

However, Rezaul Karim Rony, an analyst and editor of Joban magazine, argued that leadership conflicts within a natural political party and that the remaining central number of movement may help reduce internal divisions.

However, Rooney warned that the formation of a party alone was not enough. [against Hasina] “It will not automatically turn into political support,” he said, stressing the need for “a vision linking people who retreat from the speech.”

How was the reaction of the existing political parties in Bangladesh with the arrival of a new competitor?

In September, when the leaders of the student announced for the first time their plans to form their own party, the deputy leader of BNP, Mirza Fakhrol Islam, asked Alamir about the neutrality of the interim government and warned that people would reject the “state -sponsored king party.”

The group repeated those feelings at that time. “Those who are currently part of the interim government as non -partisan forms will not remain neutral if they enter politics or form a party.”

However, both BNP and Jamaat have eased their positions since Islam resigned from the government this week. “We welcome the new party. Since the individual who will lead the new party resigned from the government, we have no current objection.”

The Secretary -General also welcomed Mia Golaam Parawar’s Drawings to form the new party, but note with caution.

“We have a bitter history from the rulers who constitute political parties sponsored by the state and impose tyranny on the people. But we want to believe that this new political party will provide a democratic, safe and comprehensive approach to Bangladesh’s policy, and benefit from people.”

Currently, the new party has a narrow window of opportunities, analysts said.

The uprising in July raised a desire between the people of Bangladesh in new politics. If the new party is able to fulfill this request, it has the ability to become a dominant political force in Bangladesh. “Otherwise, no.”
