History

Jatiya Party leader Hussain Muhammad Ershad had suspended Kazi Zafar Ahmed in 2013, for participation in a Hefazat-e-Islam rally in Motijheel. [1] A few hours later, Ahmed tried to expel Ershad from the Jatiya Party, [2] after which he formed his own faction of Jatiya Party. [3] Ahmed criticised Ershad for Jatiya Party's partition at the Awami League-facilitated 2014 Bangladeshi general elections. [4]

Golam Moshi joined the Kazi Zafar faction of Jatiya Party. [5] On 20 December 2013, Ahmed was elected as chairman of the party. On 25 January 2014, the faction joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led 20 Party Alliance. [3] [6] [7]

After Ahmed's death in August 2015, TIM Fazle Rabbi Chowdhury and Mostafa Jamal Haider were appointed the chairman and general-secretary respectively. After Chowdhury's death in December 2018, Haider became the new chairman. [8]
