The new cabinet will be formed tomorrow (Thursday) while the newly elected members of parliament (MPs) will take the oath of office today (Wednesday).
In the 12th parliamentary election held on January 7, the ruling Awami League won 222 seats out of 298, while independents won 62, Jatiya Party 11, and Bangladesh Workers Party, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and Bangladesh Kalyan Party won one seat each. The parliamentary election witnessed the reflection of mass-support for Awami League’s election symbol ‘Boat’ across the country.
We think the party high command and stalwarts will give a new look to it with the inclusion of dedicated and tested leaders while exclusion of fortune seekers in the new cabinet. But the fact is that the tested leaders and workers who stay with the party during its crisis and never tarnish the image of the party are often sidelined.
In this regard, we think the controversial, dishonest, intruders and opportunists would not have any right to be included in the new cabinet and they must be ousted from the party as early as possible. We have noticed over the past few years, the so-called intruders instead of doing something for the party or people, are engaged in serving their own purpose and interest and busy demeaning the party in a planned way.

Otherwise, controversial leaders and the organised intruders, and opportunists will affect the government’s image. Awami League, the oldest and largest political party of Bangladesh, will have to be built as more well-organised and smarter in coming days.
The party under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s highly capable daughter Sheikh Hasina will have to be more firm to uphold the democratic spirit at any cost right now. The party high command has already evaluated the performance of the immediate past cabinet members, lawmakers. Party’s immediate past cabinet members and lawmakers’ contributions to their respective ministries and constituencies as well during the current global crisis have also been in record.
We believe the party high command will evaluate the tested and dedicated leaders and given them room in the new cabinet.
