Gana Adhikar Parishad led by Nurul Haq Nur has been registered as a political party with the Election Commission (EC).

The EC headed by Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal on Monday declared Gana Adhikar Parishad as a registered political party paving the way for its participation in elections.

The EC allocated ‘truck’ as the party’s election symbol.  The registration number of Gana Adhikar Parishad is 51.

A gazette notification signed by EC Secretary Shafiul Azim said the Commission made it as a registered political party until further order as per the Representation of the People Order, 1972.

Gana Adhikar Parishad headed by former vice president (VP) of Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) applied to the Election Commissioner seeking the registration before the 12th parliamentary election held on January 7, 2024. It was rejected at that time citing no reason.
