DHAKA: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairman Tarique Rahman is all set to be the Prime Minister of the country after his party’s Members of Parliament elected him as leader of the parliamentary party, making it official.
The development came even as all the newly elected members of parliament from across the parties took the oath of office, ending the stalemate over Constitution Reform Council.
Bangladesh’s right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami’s newly elected MPs initially refused to take the oath of office after the victorious BNP declined to take the pledge as members of “Constitution Reform Council”.
