Bangladesh Nationalist Party
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is a conservative political party in Bangladesh that was founded by the nationalist leader Ziaur Rahman on 1 September 1978. The BNP's goal was to unite the nationalists of the country, and it advocated for economic liberalism and generally right-wing views. In 1990, its student wing played a key role in overthrowing Hussain Muhammad Ershad's dictatorship and restoring democracy to Bangladesh, and it won four national elections and the presidential elections of 1978 and 1981. V roce 2014 BNP bojkotovala národní volby na protest proti Awami League's persecution of its political opponents; its leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury byl v roce 2015 oběšen za válečné zločiny spáchané během Bangladesh Liberation War.Gallery
