Bangladesh's NCP Faces Leadership Crisis Ahead of Elections
The National Citizen Party (NCP) in Bangladesh is having a lot of problems just before the big elections.
Many important leaders have quit because they don't agree with the party's decision to work with another group called Jamaat-e-Islami.
This has made the party weak and not ready for the elections.
The party is having trouble with planning and making important decisions.
Some leaders say this decision is a big mistake and could hurt the party.
With the elections coming up soon, the party is trying to fix these problems but it's not easy.
Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP) faces internal turmoil ahead of the February 12 general elections.
At least 15 senior leaders have resigned, including members of key committees, due to the party's alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami.
The party is experiencing a leadership vacuum and organisational fragmentation, hampering routine operations.
Key tasks such as strategy planning and manifesto drafting are delayed or unfinished.
Internal discord within the NCP surfaced during alliance negotiations, with many viewing the alliance as anti-ideological and politically 'suicidal'.
