The Election Commission of Bangladesh reinstated the candidacy of 109 parliamentary aspirants after two days of appeal hearings related to the 13th National Parliamentary Election. On Sunday, 58 candidates regained eligibility following daylong hearings at the commission’s Agargaon office in Dhaka. The restored candidates include nominees from Jamaat-e-Islami, Nagorik Oikya, Jatiya Party, and several independent contenders. The hearings were conducted by the full commission led by Chief Election Commissioner A.M.M. Nasir Uddin.
According to the commission, Sunday’s session reviewed 70 appeals, approving 58, rejecting seven, and keeping six unresolved pending submission of required documents by January 16. Earlier, returning officers had canceled 723 nominations on January 4, prompting 645 appeals. The appeal process is scheduled to continue until January 18. Among the reinstated are notable figures such as Mahmudur Rahman Manna of Nagorik Oikya and several independent candidates from key constituencies.
The decisions mark a significant phase in the pre-election process, as multiple political parties and independents regain eligibility to contest the upcoming parliamentary polls.
