Bangladesh Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to accept the candidacy of Awami League leader Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and BNP leader Lutfozzaman Babar for the December 29 general election.
The Election Commission disqualified the two former ministers from the polls on grounds of their convictions under the now repealed Emergency Powers Rules, 2007.
The Supreme Court also stayed the High Court orders upholding the EC decisions.
