Deputy Secretary to the EC Secretariat (law) AKM Solimullah told bdnews24.com that the letter was sent after the scrutiny committee made the recommendations.
An AL delegation, led by office secretary Abdul Mannan Khan, is expected to visit the EC Secretariat in the afternoon to enquire about the matter.
The party applied for registration on Oct 15 along with a draft of its amended constitution, in line with the new electoral laws.
As many as 38 parties had applied for registration with the EC up to Sunday noon.
