The Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) has published the list of its restructured central convenor committee, retaining Nahid Islam as convenor and Akhtar Hossain as member secretary.

Nasiruddin Patwary and Hasnat Abdullah have been made senior joint convenors, while Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan and Sarjis Alam have been appointed senior joint member secretaries. Samanta Sharmin was dropped from the highest political panel.

Sadia Farjana Dina, office cell secretary of the party, published the committee list in a press release signed on Friday afternoon.

Although the party could not hold a national convention in nearly two years since its founding, it has made changes to several top leadership posts.

Nasiruddin Patwary and Hasnat Abdullah have taken over as senior joint convenors. Hasnat Abdullah previously served as chief organizer (South) from the beginning, while Nasiruddin Patwary served as chief coordinator.

The party's chief organizer (North) Sarjis Alam and spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan have been given the positions of senior joint member secretaries in the newly formed committee.

Samanta Sharmin, a key party leader after the July uprising, was initially a senior joint convenor, but she has now been made a joint convenor. She became relatively inactive after the NCP formed an alliance with Jamaat during the parliamentary election held on February 12.
