Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairman Tarique Rahman stated that maintaining law and order would be the top priority of the incoming government. Speaking at his first post-election news conference in Dhaka following his party's landslide victory in the 13th parliamentary elections, he warned that any form of anarchy would not be tolerated.
Mr. Rahman called upon political parties to exercise restraint and unity and restore democracy. He thanked law enforcement agencies, the interim government, and the Election Commission for what he described as a peaceful and competitive election, and urged party leaders and activists to act responsibly.
Cabinet Secretary Sheikh Abdur Rashid said that newly elected lawmakers are expected to take the oath of office with a new cabinet by Wednesday.
