Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh (Bengali: ইনসানিয়াত বিপ্লব বাংলাদেশ; IBB), also known as Humanity Revolution Bangladesh, is a political party in Bangladesh. The party was founded in 2010 and was officially registered with the Bangladesh Election Commission in 2023.
History
Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh was established in 2010 as a new political party in Bangladesh.[2] Since its inception, the party has operated independently and has not formed alliances with any other political party or group.
In 2017, the party applied for registration as a political party with the Bangladesh Election Commission; however, the application was initially rejected.[2] The party later filed a writ petition with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. Following the verdict of the Appellate Division, Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh was officially registered as a political party.[3]
Electoral symbol
Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh initially used the white rose as its official party symbol. However, due to the allocation of the rose symbol to the Zaker Party, the Election Commission did not approve the white rose for Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh. As a result, the party was allocated the apple as its official electoral symbol.[4]

Electoral history
11th Jatiya Sangsad election
Following the rejection of its registration application in 2017, Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh decided to participate in the 2018 Bangladeshi general election by fielding independent candidates. A total of eight independent candidates contested the election; however, none were elected.
The party claimed that the election was not free and fair. Each independent candidate contested using separate electoral symbols. The party’s secretary general, Raihan Afzal (Rahbar), contested using the apple symbol, while the remaining candidates contested using the lion symbol.[5]
Among the candidates, Sabina Khatun Sabbi was the only female candidate contesting from the party.[6]
12th Jatiya Sangsad election
Ahead of the 12th Jatiya Sangsad election, Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh held discussions with the Bangladesh Election Commission and placed demands including the dissolution of the sitting parliament and the deployment of the army to maintain law and order during the election. When these demands were not met, the party announced a boycott of the election.[7]
The party subsequently filed writ petitions with the High Court Division seeking a fresh election schedule under army supervision with magisterial powers.[8] These petitions were dismissed by the High Court.
Insaniyat Biplob Bangladesh later filed appeals with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh, which were also dismissed.[9]
