Workers Party of Bangladesh
The Workers Party of Bangladesh is a communist party in Bangladesh.
WPB was founded in 1980 by the Bangladesh Communist Party, Revolutionary Communist League, Majdur Party and another group. Amal Sen was the founding general secretary.
In 1984 the party split in two factions, both using the name WPB. One group was led by Amal Sen and Nazrul Islam. The other was led by the current president of the party, Rashed Khan Menon. In 1992 they reunited.
WPB joined the Grand Alliance, however the party leadership openly questioned the direction of the subsequent 14 Party Alliance after the 2014 elections.
In the 2018 Bangladesh elections, it contested as part of the Grand Alliance along with the Bangladesh Awami League and won four seats in the Jatiya Sangsad hence forming government.
