Jatiya Party (Zafar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jatiya Party (Kazi Zafar) is a political party in Bangladesh. The party was formed as the result of a disagreement regarding the Jatiya Party led by Hussain Muhammad Ershad.

History

Jatiya Party leader Hussain Muhammad Ershad had suspended Kazi Zafar Ahmed in 2013, for participation in a Hefazat-e-Islam rally in Motijheel.^[1] A few hours later, Ahmed tried to expel Ershad from the Jatiya Party,^[2] after which he formed his own faction of Jatiya Party.^[3] Ahmed criticised Ershad for Jatiya Party's partition at the Awami League-facilitated 2014 Bangladeshi general elections.^[4]

Golam Moshi joined the Kazi Zafar faction of Jatiya Party.^[5] On 20 December 2013, Ahmed was elected as chairman of the party. On 25 January 2014, the faction joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led 20 Party Alliance.^[3]^[6]^[7]

After Ahmed's death in August 2015, TIM Fazle Rabbi Chowdhury and Mostafa Jamal Haider were appointed the chairman and general-secretary respectively. After Chowdhury's death in December 2018, Haider became the new chairman.^[8]
