The Bangladesh Kallyan Party (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ কল্যাণ পার্টি, romanized: Bānglādēsh Kollan Parti, lit. 'Bangladesh Welfare Party'; abbreviated as BKP), often simply called as the Kallyan Party, is a conservative political party in Bangladesh founded by Syed Muhammad Ibrahim. BKP joined the then 18 Party Alliance led by Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in 2012- and remained an active member even after the alliance became inactive and until the alliance's disbandment. However, Kallyan Party remains a strong ally of the BNP, opposing the current governing party, the Bangladesh Awami League.[1][2][3]
Syed Muhammad Ibrahim, a retired major general of Bangladesh Army, is the chairman of the party.[4] He was elected to Parliament in January 2024.[5]
