Although the National Citizen Party (NCP) was founded by young leaders of the July Uprising, the party has now decided to entrust its regional committees to those aged above 40. The session was chaired by NCP Convenor Nahid Islam and moderated by Member Secretary Akhter Hossen, according to bdnews24.com. District committees will now have between 31 and 51 members, up from the previous minimum, while Upazila committees will have at least 41 members, compared with the earlier 21. The party also resolved that convenors of both district and Upazila committees must be at least 40 years old. The NCP also announced that it would hold a protest programme in Dhaka this week, demanding justice, reforms, and a Constituent Assembly election.
