‘Constitution Reform Commission’ to be sworn in today, a surprise move for new MPs
A “Constitution Reform Commission” is also expected to take oath, according to the Election Commission of Bangladesh. The announcement has surprised many newly elected leaders.
Speaking to The Hindu, a newly elected MP said that the EC of Bangladesh had not informed the MPs about the swearing-in of the Constitution Reform Commission.
Acccording to a version, the entire parliament will work as a “Constitution Reform Commission” for 180 days as an outcome of the referendum that got majority ‘yes’ vote on February 12, 2026 and as a result all MPs will be sworn in as the member of the Constitution Reform Commission as well. There is evident unease within the newly-elected MPs especially from the BNP, about the process in which the tasks of the Constitution Reform Commission and the parliamentary duties of MPs will unfold.
