According to the Representation of the People Order (RPO), the GOP is now a recognized political party until further notice. The “Truck” emblem has been allocated to the party, making it the 51st registered political party in Bangladesh.

In August, GOP president Nurul Haque Nur had demanded that the Election Commission grant the party registration within seven days. Previously, the party had submitted an application for registration prior to the 12th general election, but the request was denied at that time.
