EC to visit offices of Gono Odhikar Parishad before finalising its registration
Sunday, 9 July 2023
The Election Commission has decided to visit the offices of Gono Odhikar Parishad to reassess its works before finalising its registration as a political party amid infighting which culminated in the 'removal' of its convener and member secretary, reports bdnews24.com.
The visit has been scheduled for Monday, and the regulator has asked the party's feuding leaders, Reza Kibria and Nurul Haque Nur, to be present at its Purana Paltan office with all the necessary information and documents.
They have both received letters from the EC's information verification panel to this end.
However, the probe is not connected to the rift within the party, according to Abdus Salam, the committee's deputy secretary.
"The Election Commission has instructed us to conduct an investigation. It is not related to the party's internal conflict. Our records show that Reza Kibria and Nurul Haque Nur are the party's convener and member secretary. Accordingly, a letter was sent to them both on Wednesday," he said.
