Thousands of people, especially young people, gathered to see the moment. The Nobel Peace Prize -winning critics, Mohamed Yunus, who heads the interim government, says that the new party is only the “King's Party”. But political analysts say that the new platform may be able to break the structure of traditional traditional political power in South Asia.

Who are they?

The new party was named by the Jatiya Nagarik party, or the National Citizen Party.

Nahid Islam, a 26 -year -old prominent student, was named as party president. Nine other officials – all of whom were the leaders of the students who rose to the lead during the collective uprising in July and August – were named at high positions, according to the media, Bangladesh.

Their supporters say that a party is needed to bring reforms for the country's political culture, and to address corruption and the absence of democratic practices.

Who has been invited to launch?

The organizers said they called on Yunus, other interim government consultants, heads of political parties, including the National Party in Bangladesh in Diaa and others.

The Awami League and its 13th former allies were invited to a launching ceremony. Yunus or other advisers from the temporary cabinet did not attend the event. Foreign diplomats were also invited, but diplomats from India and other major world powers were not monitored.

Islam and its colleagues were holding a campaign for months for the trial of Hasina for hundreds of deaths during the July uprising to August. The leaders of the student participating in the new party also spoke strongly against India, accused of the country adjacent to the hegemony of Bangladesh, which led to a sharp reaction from India.

On Friday, a giant stage was installed on a main street in front of the parliament building in Dhaka. The organizers said they expect up to 300,000 people during the party's launch.

Who finances the new party?

After installing the interim government, Yunus has repeatedly said that he was appointed by students who led the anti -Jezina uprising.

It was not clear whether Yunus had any direct role behind the formation of the new party, but many Union critics said, mainly on social media, that the formation of the party is an attempt to reveal the “King's Party”.

But Bangladesh analyst Nazmos is the best of God, God said to the Associated Press: “Most likely more.

He said: “They have an ambition to link the youth who felt a wonderful separation with the prevailing political forces such as the Awami League in Hasina and the National Party in Bangladesh in Diaa.” “Of course, this new party has blessings from Mohamed Eunus.”

Calimola said that the new party “probably” has a “future.”

What next?

The new party is expected to request registration with the country's election committee to participate in the upcoming elections, which is expected to be held either in December or by June 2026.

The party will try to form an alliance with other parties except for the National Party in Bangladesh in Diaa, which hopes to form the next government. The relationship of the new party with the Islamic Group Party is still unclear.

Hesima Bangladesh Awami's association's concert is exposed to tremendous pressure after she fled India and thousands of party leaders and activists either left the country, hid or arrested. The student's suite in the Hasainah party has already been banned by the Yunus -led government, which was fighting to achieve stability in the situation of law and order in the country since the overthrow of the doves.
