History

Nazmul Huda founded the Bangladesh Nationalist Front in August 2012 after resigning from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party on 6 June 2012. Abul Kamal Azad, member-secretary, expelled Huda from the Bangladesh Nationalist Front.[2] The Front was registered with the Bangladesh Election Commission in 2015.[3] In 2015, during talks with President Abdul Hamid over the next election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Front proposed that the Election Commission Secretariat be scrapped.[4]
