CEC Nasir says no political party ever received symbol outside the official listChief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin reminded that the National Citizen Party could not be allocated the “Shapla” symbol because it was not included in the commission’s official list of approved symbols. On Sunday, Nasir also said the commission has never given a symbol outside this list. The Nagorik Oikya also sought Shapla as its party symbol, in place of kettle, but the EC turned down the request. On Thursday, NCP’s Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary and two party leaders met CEC Nasir for over two and a half hours. Patwary said, “We asked for two hours why the symbol was being denied, but received no explanation.
