Writ Hearing for Cancellation of Awami League Registration – Sunday, 25 August
The legal battle surrounding the registration of the Awami League, one of Bangladesh’s oldest and most prominent political parties, is set to take a significant turn 25 August, Sunday. The High Court will hear a writ petition seeking the cancellation of the party’s registration, a move that has sparked widespread attention and debate across the country.
The petition, filed by a group of political activists and lawyers, alleges that the Awami League has violated various provisions of the Representation of the People Order (RPO), which governs the conduct of political parties in Bangladesh. According to the petitioners, these alleged violations warrant the cancellation of the party’s registration with the Election Commission.
The party’s leadership has dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated, expressing confidence that the court will rule in their favor. “The Awami League has always adhered to the principles of democracy and the rule of law,” said a senior party leader. “We believe that this petition will be dismissed, and we will continue to serve the people of Bangladesh.”
The hearing is expected to draw significant public and media attention, as the future of one of Bangladesh’s most influential political parties hangs in the balance. The High Court’s decision could either reaffirm the party’s standing or pave the way for further legal and political challenges.
