Bangladesh Development Party (; BDP) is a Bangladeshi political party. The party advocates for national development, economic growth, social justice, and good governance, with an emphasis on sustainable development and public welfare.
History The party was initially founded in 2022.
BDP applied for registration as an political organization on 26 October 2022 but the request was rejected by the Bangladesh Election Commission in April 2023. Several BDP members and leaders were allegedly affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir, although the BDP denied having any connections with Jamaat or Shibir.
In December 2024, the Bangladesh High Court delivered a verdict requesting that the Election Commission register the BDP as a political party.
BDP finally was registered as an political party on 3 February 2025 with a cauliflower as its symbol. Election results
