Dhaka, 17/2: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairman Tarique Rahman has been officially appointed as the new prime minister of Bangladesh five days after securing a historic win in the general elections. President Mohammed Shahbuddin administered the oath to Rahman along with his party members who will take charge as cabinet ministers.
This comes as members of the BNP elected him as the leader of the parliamentary party. Representing India at the oath-taking ceremony is Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, who landed in Dhaka earlier on Tuesday.
