National Citizen Party (NCP) Convenor Nahid Islam is set to visit the United Kingdom from November 13 to 21, marking his first trip to the country since the July Uprising, the party confirmed. The visit is seen as a key opportunity to engage with the British-Bangladeshi diaspora and discuss the political transition in Bangladesh.
The announcement follows a meeting between Nahid Islam and British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke in Dhaka on November 12, where they discussed the UK-Bangladesh partnership and preparations for the upcoming national elections. Nahid Islam, a former student leader who played a central role in the 2024 protests that toppled the Hasina government, founded the NCP in February 2025. His UK trip is expected to focus on strengthening ties with expatriate Bangladeshis and outlining the party’s vision for a democratic and inclusive future.
