Nationalist Democratic Movement (Bangladesh)

The Nationalist Democratic Movement has its origins in the ShopnerDesh movement started by party founder and chairman, Bobby Hajjaj. The erosion of political values, centralization of party power, and the abeyance of democratic norms, were reasons stated by party leaders for their formation of the party. Party Chairman along with other current members of the NDM's National Executive Committee started work on launching the party at a national scale in midyear 2016 and on 24 April 2017, they officially launched the party. According to party leadership, NDM had the biggest launch of any political party in Bangladesh with representatives from over thirty districts convening for the official launch in Dhaka. == Elections ==

The party sought registration from the Election Commission of Bangladesh to participate in the 2018 Bangladeshi general election, but did not receive it. So the NDM contested the election in alliance with the Muslim League. The party has got registration from the Election Commission of Bangladesh on 30 January 2019. The symbol of the party is a lion. == Notes ==
