Gono Odhikar Parishad president and former DUCSU vice president Nurul Haque Nur has been invited to join the cabinet of Tarique Rahman. He confirmed the news to the newspaper Amar Desh on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to Tarique Rahman and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) for the opportunity. The invitation follows the BNP’s landslide victory in the 13th national parliamentary election.

Earlier in the day, at 10:40 a.m., newly elected BNP members of parliament took their oaths at the oath room of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, administered by Chief Election Commissioner A. M. M. Nasir Uddin. However, the BNP lawmakers did not take oaths as members of the Constitutional Reform Committee.

The cabinet swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, where Tarique Rahman will take oath as the new Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
