Suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir to Launch New Party in West Bengal Today

Suspended Trinamool Congress legislator Humayun Kabir, representing the Bharatpur constituency in minority-dominated Murshidabad district, is poised to officially unveil his new political party on December 22, 2025, in a calculated move that could significantly alter the electoral landscape of West Bengal as the state approaches the crucial 2026 Assembly elections.

The launch event is anticipated to attract substantial crowds, with organizers expecting lakhs of supporters to converge in Murshidabad, signaling strong grassroots mobilization in a region where Kabir has cultivated considerable influence despite his recent suspension from the ruling Trinamool Congress over internal disagreements.

Kabir has articulated an ambitious strategy centered on forging a broad anti-Trinamool Congress and anti-Bharatiya Janata Party coalition, while simultaneously preparing contingencies to field candidates independently in every one of the state's 294 constituencies should alliance negotiations collapse due to differing egos or priorities among potential partners.

His primary electoral focus remains on unifying minority voters across West Bengal, with a declared objective of securing victories in no fewer than 90 seats to establish his nascent party as an indispensable force capable of influencing or even participating in the formation of the next government following the polls.

Details regarding the party's visual identity include preferred election symbols such as a table or twin roses, alongside a deliberate decision to exclude any reference to "Congress" or "Trinamool" in the official name, aiming to craft a fresh, relatable brand that resonates deeply with the masses through an unwavering commitment to equitable development and representation of ordinary citizens.
