Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul has stated that there is no question of his inclusion in the upcoming BNP cabinet. He made the comment on Sunday afternoon while speaking to reporters at the Secretariat. Nazrul confirmed that the oath-taking ceremony for newly elected members of parliament and the new cabinet will be held on Tuesday, February 17, at the South Plaza of the National Parliament. The MPs will take their oaths at 10 a.m., followed by the cabinet’s oath ceremony at 4 p.m.

He added that the Chief Election Commissioner is expected to administer the oath to the MPs, while the President will administer the oath to the cabinet members. The event is being arranged at the South Plaza in line with the BNP’s preference. Nazrul’s remarks came amid recent political discussions suggesting that he might join the BNP government’s cabinet.

The clarification effectively ends speculation about his possible role in the new BNP-led administration, as preparations continue for the formal swearing-in ceremonies.
