Gonoshonghoti Andolon convener Zonayed Saki has served Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda with a legal notice seeking an explanation over turning down his party’s application to get registered.
Similar notices have been served to the law secretary and the joint secretary of the commission.
The notices, sent on Sunday, warn of initiating legal procedures if they fail to respond within seven days.
Gonoshonghoti Andolon applied to be registered as a political party on Dec 31 last year. However, on Apr 8, the EC put the application on hold citing unclear information.
The party re-submitted the application with necessary correction within 15 days but the EC rejected it on Jun 19.
