The Election Commission (EC) has declared the nomination paper of Tasnim Jara, an independent candidate for Dhaka-9, valid.

The decision came today around 12:30pm following a hearing of her appeal before the commission.

On January 3, nomination papers of  Tasnim Jara for the Dhaka-9 constituency (Khilgaon, Sobujbagh and Mugda) have been rejected by the returning officer following scrutiny.

She filed an appeal with the EC on January 5, challenging the cancellation of her nomination papers for the 13th National Election scheduled for February 12.
