Two new political parties, the Bangladesh Nationalist Movement and Bangladesh Supreme Party, are now registered with the Election Commission.
The commission has unanimously decided to grant registration to these two new political parties, says a press release signed by Election Commission Director (Public Relations) Md Shariful Alam.
The BNM's electoral symbol is now anchor and the BSP's symbol is ektara (a one-stringed musical instrument).
The decision comes after the Election Commission held a hearing on the registration of the two parties at Nirbachan Bhaban on Monday.
Representatives of the BNM and BSP and complainants presented their arguments there.
