Objection to name of NCP at EC

The Bangladesh Citizen Party (BCP) has raised an objection to the abbreviated name of the newly formed National Citizens Party (NCP).

BCP General Secretary Shahriar Khan Abir sent a letter to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the matter recently.

According to the letter, “On February 28, a new political party named 'National Citizens Party' was formed. Recently, it has been observed in newspapers and on social media that there is significant discussion about the abbreviated name of the 'National Citizens Party.”

According to the letter, “The abbreviated name of the newly established National Citizens Party should be JNP (from Jatiya Nagorik Party) but NCP has been adopted, which is incorrect. This is because a name, regardless of the language it is written in, does not change.”
