Bangladesh National Awami Party-Bangladesh NAP

The Bangladesh National Awami Party (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ন্যাশনাল আওয়ামী পার্টি) is a political party in Bangladesh. The party traces its origins to a splinter group of the National Awami Party (Bhashani) led by Mashiur Rahman, who was popularly known as Jadu Mia. Jadu Mia's NAP faction had merged with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in the late 1970s. Jadu Mia's son Shafiqul Ghani Swapan refounded the Bangladesh National Awami Party in December 2006. Shafiqul Ghani Swapan died in 2009, after which Jebel Rahman Ghaani took over as party chairman.
