In the past eight months, at least 25 political parties have emerged in Bangladesh’s politics. Following this trend, Ali Ahsan Junayed, former president of the covert organization Shibir’s Dhaka University chapter, is set to officially launch another new party, United Peoples Bangladesh or UP Bangladesh.

Next Friday at noon, UP Bangladesh will officially commence its journey with the formation of a convening committee at the Central Shaheed Minar.

Regarding this, the chief organizer of UP Bangladesh, Ali Ahsan Junayed, said, “On May 9, with the announcement of the convening committee at the Central Shaheed Minar, our party will officially begin its journey. Families of July’s martyrs and the injured will be present there. The committee will be announced in their presence.”

Additionally, various stakeholders of the July “movement” and organizers of different levels from UP Bangladesh’s Dhaka metropolitan unit will be present, said the Shibir leader.

Earlier, in March, Ali Ahsan Junayed announced the launch of a new political platform through a Facebook post. Later, on April 10, he announced the name of the platform as United Peoples Bangladesh (UP Bangladesh) in another post.
