EC’s Compliance Reminder

The Election Commission reminded that, as per law, all 50 registered political parties (excluding the Awami League whose registration remains suspended) must submit their audit reports for 2024 by 31 July 2025. Failure to do so for three consecutive years may result in cancellation of registration.

This submission reinforces BNP’s compliance with the RPO and the transparency required by political parties in managing and reporting their finances.
