Bangladesh polls: Students-led NCP divided over alliance with Jamaat; leaders quit, defections loom

The National Citizen Party (NCP), formed by leaders of the '2024 July Uprising,' is facing internal dissent. Thirty members oppose an alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) for the upcoming polls due to JeI's controversial history. This has led to resignations, with some members considering rival parties or independent candidacies.
