Trinomool Bangladesh National Party (Bengali: তৃণমূল বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় দল/তৃণমূল বিএনপি), commonly known as the Trinomool BNP, is a political party in Bangladesh founded by former minister Barrister Nazmul Huda in 2015.[2] The party is the fourth to be founded by Huda, and the second to get registered by the Election Commission (EC). Huda first founded BNF after leaving Bangladesh Nationalist Party-BNP, although he was later expelled from BNF. Trinomool BNP had tried to join the ruling Grand Alliance publicly in the past.[3][4][5]

The party struggled to get registration from the EC, and the issue even went to the courts.[6] Although as the 2018 general election got held and the party couldn't participate because of being unregistered to EC, the issue became insignificant and remained unsolved. Later on, the EC registered the party in February 2023 following a court verdict ahead of the 12th general election, and the party started preparing to start political activities again.[7] Within 3 days of being registered, the party's chief Nazmul Huda passed away.[8][9][10][11]

The party's responsibility was then taken by his eldest daughter, Antara Selima Huda.
