The election commission (EC) has formally registered the Amar Bangladesh Party (AB Party) as the country’s 45th political party.
The development came on the heels of a High Court directive that cleared the way for the party’s registration.
Two days ago, a bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Kazi Zinat Hoque ordered the election commission to register the AB Party as a political organisation, hearing a writ petition.
In response, the commission issued a notification confirming the registration on Wednesday, citing the High Court order.
The party has been assigned registration number 050 and the election symbol "Eagle."
