On Wednesday (July 16) morning, it was seen on the Election Commission (EC) website that the ‘boat’ symbol was no longer next to the name ‘Awami League (registration suspended)’.

In this regard, EC Secretariat System Manager Md. Rafiqul Haque said that the symbol was removed on the orders of higher authorities.

Earlier, in a post on Facebook on Tuesday night, Local Government Advisor Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan criticized the Election Commission and wrote, “On what grounds did you send the cursed ‘boat’ symbol to the Law Ministry to be re-scheduled?”

Currently, out of the 69 symbols listed by the EC, 50 are allocated for registered political parties. This includes the symbol of the Bangladesh Awami League, whose registration has been suspended. The remaining 19 symbols are reserved for independent candidates. However, if the new list is finalized, the total number of symbols, including Jamaat’s ‘scale’, will stand at 115—it depends on the approval of the Law Ministry.
