Cabinet Secretary Dr. Sheikh Abdur Rashid said that newly elected members of the National Parliament are expected to take their oath within three or at most four days. Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat on Saturday, he explained that the official gazette for the elected members has already been published, and according to law, the oath-taking must occur within three days from the start of the next working day. He indicated that the ceremony could take place by February 17.

Dr. Rashid added that preparations for the oath-taking are complete, but arrangements are also in place if it is delayed beyond the initial three days. The ceremony will be held at Bangabhaban, where about one thousand guests, including distinguished individuals, are expected to attend. He confirmed that, as per the constitution, the President will administer the oath to the members of the Cabinet.

Following the oath, participating political parties will select their parliamentary leaders. The leader of the majority members will inform the President, who will then appoint that person as Prime Minister according to constitutional procedure.
