Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP), formed by student activists, has announced an electoral alliance with the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party for the February 2026 general election. The announcement, made by Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman, expands Jamaat's existing eight-party bloc to ten. The move has caused internal divisions within the NCP, leading to several resignations from leaders who oppose aligning with Jamaat. Reports on internal support for the alliance are contradictory, with some indicating significant backing and others highlighting opposition.
