Tension has arisen within the BNP-Jamaat alliance over the oath-taking of members for the Constitutional Reform Council following the recent referendum victory of the 'Yes' side. According to procedure, each newly elected Member of Parliament must take two oaths—one as an MP and another as a member of the council. The oath ceremony was scheduled for Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in the oath room of the National Parliament Building, with preparations made by the Parliament Secretariat for both the 13th Parliament and the council.
BNP has announced that while its members will take the oath as MPs, they will not take the oath as council members. BNP’s Cox’s Bazar–1 MP-elect Salahuddin Ahmed stated that they were not elected as council members and would act only after constitutional approval in Parliament. In contrast, Jamaat-e-Islami and NCP leaders said they would take both oaths. Jamaat’s Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher said their MPs were scheduled to take the oath at noon but warned that if BNP abstains, Jamaat MPs will also refrain, viewing a non-reformed Parliament as meaningless.
Of the 300 parliamentary seats, voting took place in 299 constituencies last Thursday, with one postponed due to a candidate’s death and two under court injunctions.
