Election Commission Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed on Monday said the commission itself will allocate an electoral symbol to the National Citizen Party (NCP) if the party fails to choose one from the EC’s list.
“I have no information to speak about any alternative proposal different from what the Election Commission’s earlier position was on this matter. The Commission had said it would allocate an election symbol on its own consideration,” he told reporters at a press briefing at Nirbachan Bhaban in the capital.
The EC Secretary made the remark while replying to a question about the Commission’s position regarding the ‘Water Lily’ symbol sought by NCP.
He said a notification would be published (in newspapers) about the political parties that are considered as eligible for registration, along with the symbols allocated for them.
