Six candidates from the National Citizen Party (NCP), founded after the July uprising in 2024, have sealed victory in six constituencies in the 13th Jatiya Sangsad elections.
The party, a key partner of the Jamaat-backed 11-party alliance, contested the polls in 30 seats.
NCP Convener Nahid Islam defeated the BNP candidate in Dhaka-11 constituency, while Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain secured victory in Rangpur-4 and Chief Organiser (southern region) Hasnat Abdullah won in Cumilla by a landslide.
Apart from this, Abdullah Al Amin won in Narayanganj-4, Atiqur Rahman Muzahid in Kurigram-2, and Abdul Hannan Masud in Noakhali-6.
Voting in the national elections and the referendum took place simultaneously in 299 constituencies, largely peacefully. Election to the Sherpur-3 seat has been postponed following the death of a candidate.
In polls, the BNP secured a majority by winning more than 200 seats, while the 11-party alliance won in over 70 seats.
