A new political party, led by students and activists of the July Revolution, is set to emerge. Before its announcement, interim government advisors Nahid Islam (Information) and Asif Mahmud (Youth & Sports) will resign by February 15, while Mahfuz Alam may step down in June. The party will first form a convening committee, with Nahid Islam as its member secretary, and its constitution is being drafted. Amid political debate, Nahid affirmed he would leave the government if he joins a party. The National Citizens Committee and student organizations support advisors resigning to lead the movement. They aim to establish a welfare state and expel remnants of the previous regime. A 17-member team is drafting a 24-point manifesto, with a formal party announcement expected by February 15. Only those resigning can join the party, per committee policy.
