Col (retd) Oli Ahmed-led Liberal Democratic Party-LDP has applied to the Election Commission for registration under the name 'Bangladesh LDP'.
A group led by Bangladesh LDP Secretary General Shahadat Hossain Selim submitted this application to Election Commission (EC) Deputy Secretary Abdul Halim at the Agargaon election building in the capital on Sunday.
By the end of 2019, the Liberal Democratic Party led by Oli Ahmed had split. Then Abdul Karim Abbasi was summoned and Shahadat Hossain Salim was made the member secretary. This year some other leaders left Ali Ahmad and joined Salim.
16 years ago on October 26, 2006, 35 MPs left the BNP and formed the LDP under the leadership of Oli Ahmed. Later in 2008 the team got EC registration.
After submitting the application form, Shahadat Hossain Salim said that in 2019, I am conducting the activities of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) by showing no confidence in the leadership of Oli Ahmed. Even though we have been operating under the same name for a long time, we have decided the name of Bangladesh LDP for registration. We want Election Commission to register us. He also said, we were in a 20-party alliance called Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Alliances no longer exist as such. However, under the leadership of BNP, we will join the simultaneous movement.
