Dhaka, Feb 15 (V7N) — The oath-taking ceremony of the new cabinet members, including the Prime Minister, will be held at the South Plaza of the National Assembly Building on Tuesday afternoon. President Md. Shahabuddin will administer the oath to the new government officials.
Cabinet Ceremony Location Change
Breaking with tradition, the ceremony will be held at the South Plaza instead of the usual venue at the Darbar Hall of Bangabhaban. The move comes as the government prepares for a public and more open event.
Oath-Taking for New MPs
On the same day, the oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected Members of Parliament will be held at 10:30 am in the oath-taking hall of the National Assembly Building. The Chief Election Commissioner will administer the oath to all elected MPs.
