The National People's Congress, also known by its acronym as NPC is one of the two principal parties of the State of Vishwamitra. It was initially founded as the Friends Societal Congress on 25 December 2017 by then President Varuna Sriraya who then became the Prime Minister. The party won the first General Elections in 2018 which was coincidentally it's first contested elections, in which it aligned with the Friends Society Secular Party.

Since, then the party had consecutively won all general and presidential elections held. On 21 March 2018, the Friends Society Freedom Party led by Arnab Sil decided to merge with the Congress. Post elections, the Friends Society Independent Party also decided to merge with the Congress. On the eve of the 2019 March General Elections, the Friends Society Secular Party led by Tanishkaa Patranabish also decided to merge the party with the Congress.

On 3 March 2020, the Friends Societal Congress was renamed to the National People's Congress.
