Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A M M Nasiruddin will administer the oath to the newly elected members of Bangladesh’s 13th Parliament, as both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker positions are currently vacant. According to constitutional provisions, the CEC assumes this responsibility when no Speaker or designated person is available to conduct the ceremony. Parliament and Election Commission sources confirmed the arrangement.
Following the July uprising, the Speaker resigned and the Deputy Speaker’s post also became vacant. The Constitution mandates that newly elected MPs must take their oath within three days of the official gazette publication of election results. The Parliament Secretariat is preparing for the ceremony, with renovation of the oath and session rooms nearing completion ahead of the February 12 election. A committee is being formed to organize the event.
Election Commission officials stated that preparations are underway to avoid any constitutional crisis. Legal experts noted that the CEC-led oath is fully valid under the Constitution and ensures continuity of governance. Delays in the oath process could otherwise raise questions about the new Parliament’s legitimacy and operations.
