Tariq Rahman government will be formed in Bangladesh on Tuesday (17 February). The newly elected MP and the new cabinet will take oath tomorrow. This swearing-in ceremony will be held in Sansad Bhavan (Jatiya Sansad Bhawan). The MPs will be sworn in at 10 am inside the Parliament House, while the swearing-in ceremony of the Cabinet will take place at the South Plaza at 4 pm.
Deviating from tradition, this time for the first time the cabinet will be sworn in in Parliament instead of Banga Bhavan. This decision has been taken on the request of BNP. Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin will administer the oath to the MPs. After taking the oath, the MPs will elect their parliamentary leader there itself. Under the Constitution, it is mandatory for MPs to take oath within three days of the publication of the Gazette.
How many seats did Jamaat-e-Islami win?
The Election Commission issued gazette notifications for 297 out of 299 seats of the 13th parliamentary elections held on Saturday (February 12). BNP won the majority in the elections by winning 209 seats, while Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is going to become the main opposition party with 68 seats. Other parties and independent candidates won the remaining seats.
President Mohammad Shahabuddin will administer the oath
After the swearing-in, there will be a parliamentary board meeting of BNP, in which the parliamentary leader will be elected. After this, the President will be requested to appoint the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister will form the cabinet. President Mohammad Shahabuddin will administer the oath to the cabinet, while newly appointed Cabinet Secretary M Siraj Miyan will conduct the ceremony. Preparations are being made by the Parliament Secretariat. BNP is going to take power from the interim administration (Chief Advisor Prof. Muhammad Yunus). BNP President Tariq Rehman is likely to become the Prime Minister. The party leadership is finalizing the cabinet list. Speculation continues regarding the posts of Minister, Minister of State and Deputy Minister.
