Rebel TMC leader Humayun Kabir to launch new party
The Statesman | 9 November 2025
Rebel Trinamul Congress legislator Humayun Kabir from the Bharatpur Assembly constituency in Murshidabad district on Saturday announced that he will officially launch his own political party and reveal its name on 22 December.
“There is no possibility of going back to my old party, the Congress. I will officially float my own party and also announce its name on 22 December. The political outfit floated by me will start its journey with around 50,000 activists, mainly from Murshidabad district. I will be the chairman of the new political party. On 22 December, I will also announce the names of the other main office bearers of the new political party,” Kabir told media persons at his residence in Baharampur town on Saturday evening.
Earlier this week, Kabir had announced his decision to sever ties with the Trinamul Congress and form a new political outfit. At that time, he had not ruled out the possibility of an electoral understanding with the CPI-M-led Left Front. On Saturday, he formally declared the date for launching his new party.
Kabir also said his political outfit would contest the Assembly elections in the state next year. “Besides Murshidabad, we will also be fielding candidates from Nadia, North 24-Parganas, South 24-Parganas, and North Dinajpur districts,” he said.
