National Citizen Party (NCP) Convenor Nahid Islam has expressed full confidence in the implementation of the July National Charter following the formation of the new government.

Speaking on Monday, a day before the BNP assumes power, Nahid signed the Charter in the presence of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna.

Asked whether he harboured any doubts about the Charter’s enforcement, Nahid said: “We see no doubt remaining. This election itself is based on a popular vote, grounded in the July National Charter order.

“Without this order, neither this election nor this government would have been possible. To ensure the next parliament and government function legitimately, the Charter must be implemented according to the people’s mandate.”

Representing the NCP, Nahid and Member Secretary Akhter Hossen signed the July Charter without issuing any note of dissent.

“The note of dissent was resolved through the popular vote. The Charter clearly specifies which reforms each party will undertake, which have unanimous agreement, and which are mandated by the people’s decision, such as proportional representation in the Upper Chamber and appointments of election commissioners,” Nahid added.

The July Charter, originally demanded at the end of 2024 by leaders of the July Uprising to seize the opportunity for reform, was developed through extensive dialogue, incorporating both consensus and limited dissent.

On Oct 17, 2025, 24 political parties, including the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, signed it at the South Plaza of parliament, along with Yunus and members of the National Consensus Commission.

The NCP had participated in the dialogue but initially refrained from signing, citing the lack of a clear legal basis.

Nahid said, “At the time of signing, the document was only symbolic. With the legal framework now established through the July National Charter order and reflected in the people’s vote, our original objectives are achieved.

“Signing now is a formality to ensure implementation without hesitation from any party.”​

National Citizen Party (NCP) has signed the July National Charter, giving it compete shape on the aspects of approval of all stakeholders.

The charter was endorsed by most of the stakeholders of the Consensus Commission of the Interim Government but the NCP remained absent from signing the instrument saying signing would be meaningless without clarity on implementation.

In the presence of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, NCP Convener Nahid Islam and Member Secretary Akhter Hossain signed the charter today at State Guest House Jamuna, said the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing this evening.

National Consensus Commission Vice-Chairman Professor Ali Riaz, Commission Member Badiul Alam Majumdar, and Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser Monir Haider were present on the occasion.

Speaking at the event, Prof Yunus said, “The nation believed that the NCP would sign this charter, and today that conviction came true, the July National Charter has attained completion. I thank the NCP for participating in this noble task.”

He emphasized on keeping constant vigilance at every step to ensure that this document helps build a humane Bangladesh as the new Bangladesh.

The Chief Adviser further said the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected members of parliament will be held tomorrow and wished wellbeing of all in the coming days.

Nahid Islam said the members of parliament elected from his party will take oath tomorrow.

“We are going to take two oaths at the same time. The trust that the people of the country have placed in us-we will implement it,” he said.

He added that although they have signed the July Charter at the last, they were always most proactive for its implementation.

Other members of the NCP delegation present at the event included Monira Sharmin, Sarwar Tushar, Javed Rasin and Zahirul Islam.​

BNP to face fate of fascist if July charter ignored: Jamaat
Staff Correspondent 17 February, 2026, 00:48


The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led alliance brings out a procession protesting at the post-polls violence from the north gate of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka.

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general Mia Golam Parwar on Monday warned that those set to assume power might face the fate of fascists if the July National Charter was not implemented and a new state structure not built accordingly.

He alleged that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party had internally campaigned for a ‘No’ vote in the referendum, claiming that in many centres the votes for the ‘paddy sheaf’ symbol and the ‘No’ vote were equal.

He made the remarks while addressing a protest rally organised by the 11-party alliance led by the Jamaat-e-Islami at the north gate of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka protesting post-polls violence.

Golam Parwar said that discussions were taking place in talk shows suggesting that the government was not bound to honour the consensus reached on the July Charter.

‘If the July Charter is not implemented by using the strength of majority, another July will be created. Those going to assume power may face the consequences of fascists if they refuse the July Charter,’ he said.

Golam Parwar also claimed that the broadcast of election results had suddenly been halted, creating ‘a web of mystery’ and obstructing announcements of victories of the 11-party alliance.

He demanded disclosure of the reasons for the halt and called on the Election Commission to promptly resolve complaints of irregularities filed by the alliance without delay.

Alleging manipulation in the polls, he said, ‘Even after winning through manipulation, they have unleashed attacks on the nation. Killings, terrorism, arson and assaults are taking place. Such scenes remind us of fascism. They must exercise restraint.’

He demanded justice for those killed in the July mass uprising and for the killing of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, convener of the Inquilab Mancha.

At the rally, Mamunul Haque, amir of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, alleged that the February 12 election had made a ‘mockery’ of people’s voting rights.

He claimed that while a peaceful voting drama was staged during the day, ‘subtle engineering’ in the evening obstructed targeted candidates from entering parliament, adding that the administration was used in implementing a ‘deep state agenda.’

He urged the chief election commissioner to take lessons from the fate of his predecessor and to restore people’s voting rights through proper investigation of objections raised. Otherwise, he warned, ‘the people of Bangladesh will forcibly reclaim their rights.’

Mamunul further cautioned that if anyone attempted to rehabilitate ‘old fascists’ in Bangladesh politics, they too would be ‘driven to Delhi.’

National Citizens Party chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary alleged that the election involved not just vote theft but ‘vote robbery’.

While protesting alleged irregularities, he also called for an end to post-election violence, saying that all incidents of attack would be accounted for.

The rally, moderated by Jamaat assistant secretary general Hamidur Rahman Azad, was also addressed by leaders of the AB Party, Liberal Democratic Party, Bangladesh Labour Party, Khelafat Majlis, Jagpa and BDP, among others.

After the rally, a procession was brought out from the north gate of the Baitul Mukarram, marching through Paltan, beside the National Press Club, Matsya Bhaban and ending at Shahbagh, with participants chanting various slogans.​
