The Jatiya Sangsad (JS) is going into session tomorrow (October 22), which is likely to be the last session of the current 11th parliament ahead of the next general election likely to be held in early January 2024.
The session will begin at 4:00pm. Prior to the session, the business advisory committee of parliament will hold a meeting with Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair. The committee will set the duration and business of the session.
Earlier on October 5, President Mohammed Shahabuddin summoned the 25th session of the 11th parliament exercising the power bestowed upon him as per the Clause (1) of Article 72 of the constitution.
The last session is likely to be brief, with three to four sittings, said sources at the parliament secretariat.
So, the current parliament is unlikely to go for any session after October 31.
On September 14, the 24th session of the current Parliament was prorogued after nine sittings.
The 11th Parliament is going to fulfill its five-year term on January 29 in 2024 as it went into the first session on January 30 in 2019. So, the next general election will have to be held within 90 days before January 29, 2024 in the case of the dissolution of Parliament by reason of the expiration of its term, as per the article 123 of Constitution.
