The Election Commission (EC) has been served with a legal notice asking to revoke the candidacy of BNP’s Dhaka North mayoral aspirant Tabith Awal.

Former top court judge Shamsuddin Choudhury has served the notice accusing BNP’s mayoral candidate Tabith of concealing wealth information in his affidavit filed with the returning officer.

 Justice Choudhury handed over the notice to Election Commissioner Rafiqul Islam on Thursday (Jan 23) at commission's offices in Dhaka.

“Tabith Awal is one of the three shareholders of Singapore-based MFM Company with his two siblings,” he told the media.

“Tabith hasn’t denied the matter when asked by the media,” he added.

The former Supreme Court judge said he would move the High Court if the legal notice failed to fetch a response.
