The AMM Nasir Uddin-led commission has now registered six parties ahead of the general election
The move follows a petition challenging the legality of the amended electoral rule
The newly-registered National Citizen Party has been demanding the water lily as their election symbol
Hasnat Abdullah calls out the Election Commission for acting "arbitrarily" over the allocation of symbols
CEC Nasir says confusion remains over rightful claimant, as disputes deepen within the party
The party has reapplied to the EC a day after being asked to choose from the approved list of symbols
The EC has previously taken a policy decision not to use the national symbol as a poll logo
He says keeping the electoral symbol contradicts the spirit of the July Uprising
