History
editThe party was initially founded in 2022.[2]
BDP applied for registration as an political organization on 26 October 2022 but the request was rejected by the Bangladesh Election Commission in April 2023.[1][3][4] Several BDP members and leaders were allegedly affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir, although the BDP denied having any connections with Jamaat or Shibir.[5]
In December 2024, the Bangladesh High Court delivered a verdict requesting that the Election Commission register the BDP as a political party.[4][6]
BDP finally was registered as an political party on 3 February 2025 with a cauliflower as its symbol.[1][7][6][8]
Notes
edit- ↑ Except Chattogram, mayoral post has been dissolved in all other city corporations of the country
