Aam Janatar Dal member secretary Tarek Rahman ended his hunger strike Sunday evening following a request from Bangladesh Nationalist Party standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed.
Later, Tarek was taken to Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital by an ambulance for medical care.
Earlier, Salahuddin visited Tarek in front of the Nirbachan Bhaban in Agargaon and spoke to him personally.
Talking to reporters, Salahuddin said that he went there because Tarek鈥檚 health had become vulnerable due to the prolonged strike.
He advised Tarek to file an appeal with the Election Commission and also urged the commission to show special attention in reviewing the next appeal.
Tarek began a 鈥榟unger strike unto death鈥� Tuesday afternoon shortly after the announcement of the EC鈥檚 decision to award registration to three other parties鈥擭ational Citizen Party, Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal-Marxist, and Bangladesh Aaam Janagan Party.
He had spent 134 hours on hunger strike.
People from various parties, organisations and professions, including BNP and Gono Odhikar Parishad, expressed solidarity with Tarek.
On Wednesday morning, Bangladesh Justice and Development Party and Moulik Bangla joined the demonstration with separate sit-in programmes at the EC gate.
On March 10, 2025, the commission invited applications from the new political parties by April 20 to get registered ahead of the 13th parliamentary election.
The commission received applications from 143 parties seeking registration within the extended deadline of June 22 last.
After scrutiny, 22 parties were shortlisted for field-level inquiries to verify the authenticity of their claims of fulfilment of registration conditions.
So far, 57 parties have obtained registration since the registration system was introduced before the 2008 general election.
Later, five of them lost their status but two parties regained the registration.
