Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina is set to become the prime minister of the nation for a fourth consecutive term following her third-time-in-a-row unanimous reelection as leader of the AL Parliamentary Party yesterday.
“The daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina, who is the celebrated leader of the mass people and a prominent politician in the international world, is going to be the prime minister for the fourth time as we reelected her unanimously the leader of our parliamentary party,” AL Advisory Council Member Tofail told reporters emerging from the maiden meeting of the AL Parliamentary Party (ALPP) held at Sangsad Bhaban in the capital on Thursday afternoon.
Tofail, also the commerce minister, said AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader proposed the name of Sheikh Hasina as the ALPP leader, which was seconded by senior leader of the party Amir Hossain Amu.
This effectively makes Premier Hasina the leader of 11th parliament.
The Election Commission had previously announced the results for 298 out of the 300 constituencies, for the general elections held on December 30. As per the official results, the Awami League-led Grand Alliance won 288 seats, of which Awami League leaders secured 257.
