Why Bangladesh's student-led NCP failed to replicate Assam's AGP moment of 1985
Bangladesh's National Citizen's Party, born from a student uprising that ousted Sheikh Hasina, failed to translate its momentum into electoral success, securing only 5 seats. Internal divisions and a controversial alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami alienated voters, leading many to the BNP. The NCP now faces the challenge of electoral politics after its street movement.
