The Jatiya Party (Bengali: জাতীয় পার্টি, romanized: Jatiyo Party, lit. 'National Party') is a political party in Bangladesh. The current chairman of the party is Ghulam Muhammed Quader. On 3 January 2019, the party announced its decision to join the Bangladesh Awami League-led Grand Alliance after having been in opposition for the previous parliamentary term.[7] However, the party backtracked the next day and announced that it intended to remain part of the opposition.[8] Currently, it holds Rangpur out of Bangladesh's 12 city corporations.[9]
