Bangladeshs new prime minister and lawmakers take oath in parliament

Bangladeshi Prime Minister and Lawmakers Take Oath of Office in Parliament

In a ceremony held at the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) building in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s prime minister-to-be Tarique Rahman and newly elected lawmakers have taken their oath of office. This marks the first time since the 2024 uprising that elected representatives are being sworn into parliament.

Tarique Rahman, who is set to become the country’s next prime minister, was among those who took the oath. The swearing-in ceremony was attended by various high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The newly elected lawmakers, who were elected in recent elections, also participated in the ceremony. They will now assume their duties as members of parliament, representing their respective constituencies.

The 2024 uprising, which occurred earlier this year, resulted in significant loss of life and widespread destruction. The event had a profound impact on the country’s politics and led to a period of instability.

The swearing-in of the new lawmakers marks an important milestone in Bangladesh’s political landscape. It is seen as a step towards restoring stability and normalcy in the country.
