The Bangladesh National Awami Party (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ন্যাশনাল আওয়ামী পার্টি) is a political party in Bangladesh. The party traces its origins to a splinter group of the National Awami Party (Bhashani) led by Mashiur Rahman, who was popularly known as Jadu Mia.[1] Jadu Mia's NAP faction had merged with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party in the late 1970s.[1] Jadu Mia's son Shafiqul Ghani Swapan refounded the Bangladesh National Awami Party in December 2006.[1] Shafiqul Ghani Swapan died in 2009, after which Jebel Rahman Ghaani took over as party chairman.[1]
