The National Citizen Party (NCP) has issued a press statement calling for the immediate establishment of a Constitution Reform Council in accordance with the public referendum mandate.
In a press release issued on Saturday afternoon, November 7, 2026, coinciding with National Revolution and Solidarity Day, the NCP paid tribute to Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman for restoring multi-party democracy after the 1975 Sepoy-People's Uprising. However, the party expressed concern over current constitutional reform approaches, cautioning the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) against compressing the foundational changes outlined in the July Charter into a standard 18th Constitutional Amendment.

The statement urged the BNP-led administration to learn from historical precedents, honor the referendum's public verdict, and form a dedicated Constitution Reform Council to ensure permanent, structurally sound democratic governance.
