The Bangladesh National Awami Party (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ন্যাশনাল আওয়ামী পার্টি) is a political party in Bangladesh. The party traces its origins to a splinter group of the National Awami Party (Bhashani) led by Mashiur Rahman, who was popularly known as Jadu Mia.[1] Jadu Mia's NAP faction had merged with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in the late 1970s.[1] Jadu Mia's son Shafiqul Ghani Swapan refounded the Bangladesh National Awami Party in December 2006.[1] Shafiqul Ghani Swapan died in 2009, after which Jebel Rahman Ghaani took over as party chairman.[1]
Organization
As of 2020, Jebel Rahman Ghaani served as party chairman and M. Golam Mostafa Bhuiyan as party general secretary.[2] The party was registered with the Bangladesh Election Commission as 'Bangladesh National Awami Party-Bangladesh NAP' (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ন্যাশনাল আওয়ামী পার্টি-বাংলাদেশ ন্যাপ) on November 13, 2008.[1][3] The election symbol of the party is a cow.[3] As of 2019 the party claimed to have organized committees in 38 districts.[1] The party is led by a 71-member Central Committee.[1]
Electoral politics and alliances
In 2012, the party joined the BNP-led 20-party alliance.[1] The party boycotted the 2014 Bangladeshi general election.[1]
The party broke away from the 20-party alliance on October 16, 2018.[1] Along with the National Democratic Party, the Bangladesh NAP protested against the alliance of BNP with the Jatiya Oikya Front.[1] Subsequently, Bangladesh NAP and NDP joined the Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh-led Juktafront.[4]
