DHAKA, Dec 26, 2023 (BSS)- The Chamber Court of the Appellate Division of

Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the Election Commission (EC) to let the
participation of 'Ganatantri Party' in the upcoming 12th parliamentary
elections.

Chamber Court Justice M. Enayetur Rahim passed the order this morning.

On December 12, the EC canceled the nomination papers of all the candidates
of the Ganatantri Party.

According to a letter signed by EC Deputy Secretary Mahbub Alam Shah, the
president and general secretary of the political party, registered with the
Election Commission, submitted names of the committee separately, which was
the reason behind the rejection.

As the nominations were canceled, the candidates appealed to the High Court
against that decision. The High Court passed an order in favor of the
candidates.

The EC, however, made an appeal against the order and its judgment was
delivered today.
