JaPa MPs won't take oath Wednesday: Chunnu

Jatiya Party (JaPa) Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu on Tuesday said that those elected from his party won't participate in tomorrow's oath-taking ceremony, as most of them are still outside Dhaka.

He came up with the announcement while talking to UNB.

"We will take oath later, after holding a meeting with party chairman GM Quader upon return of elected members from their areas," he said.
Awami League (AL)-backed candidates won in 222 seats in Sunday's general election, while independent candidates -- most belonging to AL -- won 62 seats.

JaPa candidates won only 11 seats and three candidates from three parties each -- Bangladesh Workers' Party, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-Jasod and Bangladesh Kalyan Party -- secured victory in their respective constituencies.
