DHAKA, July 28, 2025 (BSS) - The Gano Adhikar Parishad (GAP) today urged the Election Commission (EC) to suspend the registration of the Jatiya Party and the parties affiliated with the 14-party alliance.

They also demanded that necessary measures be taken to prevent the Awami League (AL), Jatiya Party, and the 14-party alliance from contesting in the upcoming general election by any means.

GAP General Secretary Muhammad Rashed Khan made the remarks while speaking to journalists after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin at the EC office in the capital's Agargaon area.

He also informed the media that GAP will soon submit a memorandum to the Chief Adviser demanding a ban on the activities of the Jatiya Party and the 14-party alliance. During the meeting, the party also submitted its financial statement for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

"Earlier, we submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission demanding the immediate suspension of the registration of AL and its allies-the Jatiya Party and 14-party alliance," Rashed Khan said, adding that in today's meeting they sought an update from the commission regarding their previous demand.

In response, the CEC said the Commission has no jurisdiction in this regard. The CEC said that if the government takes any steps against the Jatiya Party and the 14-party alliance, as it did with the Awami League, the EC will act accordingly.

Rashed Khan told journalists that his party earned Tk 46,04,300 and spent Tk 45,96,088 during the last fiscal year.
