The Election Commission (EC) has extended the deadline for political parties' registration applications by two months till 22 June.

Briefing the reporters this afternoon (20 April), EC Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed said, "We have extended the deadline till 22 June. We have done so in light of at least 20 political parties previously asking the EC to extend the deadline," Akhtar added.

According to sources, the commission has received a total of 65 new applications from political parties for registration.

Among them, 46 political parties have applied for extension of the deadline.

However, the number of applications may increase as the EC is still creating the list, sources said.

Earlier in march, the EC had issued a public notice seeking applications from political parties for their registration.

The previous deadline for the submission of the applications was today (20 April), sources said.
