The National Citizen Party (NCP; Bengali: জাতীয় নাগরিক পার্টি, romanized: Jātīẏô Nāgôrik Pārṭi), is a political party in Bangladesh. Initiated by the Students Against Discrimination and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee, it was established on 28 February 2025 as the first student-led political party in the history of Bangladesh. It was established in the aftermath of the July Revolution.
After the fall of the Awami League government following the July Revolution on 5 August 2024, rumours emerged about the formation of a new political party. During the uprising, a manifesto by the leadership of the Students Against Discrimination mentioned the idea of a new political arrangement. Subsequently, in September, the Jatiya Nagorik Committee was formed with the aim of restructuring the country. In December, it was revealed that a new party would be formed in February 2025, and efforts were made to establish committees in every thana across Bangladesh. In February, the Students Against Discrimination and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee reached a final decision to form a new political party, with plans to announce the formation of the party between 23 and 25 February. The party was formed on 28 February 2025, with Nahid Islam from the interim government as its convener.
NCP's primary aim is to establish a "second republic" and continue to gather public support for this. The party leaders self-describe their party as centrist and pluralist.
