The oath-taking of the new cabinet will be held at 3 pm on Monday (January 7).

Meanwhile, Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam confirmed the matter and said that the new cabinet members will take oath at Bangabhaban next Monday.

After the oath-taking ceremony of the members of the 11th Parliament at Level-1 of the Parliament Building at 11 am on Thursday (January 3), the leader of the Parliament, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, went to Bangabhaban. There, President Md. Abdul Hamid invited her to form the new government.

On the other hand, their main opponent, the BNP and its allies, won only seven seats in total.
