Bangladesh Nationalist Front is a political party in Bangladesh. Former member of parliament for Dhaka-17 Abul Kalam Azad is the party's chairman.

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. The Front was registered with the Bangladesh Election Commission in 2015. In 2015, during talks with President Abdul Hamid over the next election, the Bangladesh Nationalist Front proposed that the Election Commission Secretariat be scrapped.
