A new political party formed by the students who spearheaded an anti-government movement to oust former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina rallied in Bangladesh’s capital on Sunday.

The student-led National Citizen Party pledged to build a new Bangladesh amid political uncertainty over the next election.

Some 1,000 supporters rallied in front of the Shaheed Minar national monument in Dhaka, where top leader Nahid Islam announced a 24-point agenda for a “new Bangladesh.”

“Exactly one year ago, at this Shaheed Minar (memorial), we vowed to free this country from the hands of dictatorship. By responding to that call, we together defeated the fascist rule and regained control of our country,” he said.

Islam said his party wanted a new constitution that would replace one adopted in 1972 after Bangladesh was born under the leadership of independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Hasina’s father.

“Let us all unite and transform this historic 24-point agenda into reality to build a new Bangladesh — a Bangladesh that fulfils the dreams of all citizens, as we move toward the formation of our second republic,” he said.

The rally took place two days before the country’s interim government headed by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus is marking the anniversary of Hasina's fall.

They reflect shifting power dynamics in Bangladesh following Hasina’s dramatic ouster.

She fled the country to India last Aug. 5 amid a mass uprising, ending her 15-year rule.

Yunus took over three days later and pledged to restore order following weeks of violence that left hundreds killed and thousands injured.

The emergence of new political actors and unresolved tensions over the timing of the next election raise concerns about whether Bangladesh will move toward a stable, democratic transition — or slide into deeper political turmoil.

Bangladesh has been at a crossroads since Hasina's ouster and the interim government has been struggling to restore order with allegations of failure in controlling mob violence and maintaining human rights.
