National Awami Party (Muzaffar) traces its origin to a split of the
National Awami Party into two factions, one pro-China and one pro-Moscow. The pro-Moscow fraction was
National Awami Party (Wali), led by
Khan Abdul Wali Khan, and the pro-China was called
National Awami Party (Bhashani), led by
Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani.
Muzaffar Ahmed was a leader of the National Awami Party (Wali) in East Pakistan. After the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the East Pakistan branch of National Awami Party (Wali) became an independent party; the National Awami Party (Muzaffar). The party participated in the
Bangladesh Liberation War, through the NAP-CPB-Chhatra Union Guerrilla Bahini, for which Muzaffar served as an organizer. The NAP (Muzaffar) won a single seat in the
1991 Bangladeshi general election when
Md. Abdul Hafiz beat
Jatiya Party (Ershad) candidate Kazi Faruque Kader by 103 votes in the
Nilphamari-4 constituency. The party has not won a seat in any general election since. ==Electoral registry==
