Six elected representatives of the National Citizen Party (NCP) took their oaths on Tuesday as both Members of Parliament and members of he Constitution Reform Council.

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin administered the parliamentary oath at 1:22 PM, followed shortly by the swearing-in for the Constitution Reform Council.

The six NCP lawmakers are Nahid Islam, Akhtar Hossain, Hasnat Abdullah, Abdul Hannan Masud, Abdullah Al Amin, and Atiqur Rahman Mujahid. The representatives contested the election under the banner of the Jamaat-led alliance.

Earlier on Tuesday, members of the majority BNP took their oaths at approximately 10:45 am, followed by Jamaat-e-Islami and several independent candidates at 12:20 pm.

However, the proceedings faced a period of uncertainty when BNP lawmakers declined to take the oath for the Constitution Reform Council.

This led to concerns regarding the participation of Jamaat and NCP members. Following the BNP’s decision, leaders of the Jamaat-led 11-party alliance held an emergency meeting chaired by Jamaat Ameer Shafiqur Rahman.

The alliance subsequently decided that its members would proceed with taking oaths for both their parliamentary seats and the Constitution Reform Council.
