The first session of the 9th
parliament, elected in the December 29 national election, will be held tomorrow
(January 25) at 3pm.
President Professor Dr Iajuddin Ahmed has summoned the parliament session as
per article 72 (1) of the Constitution. The President will address the
inaugural session of the 9th parliament and the cabinet had already approved
his address.
All the parties will attend the first session.
The ninth parliament will elect a new Speaker and a Deputy Speaker as its first task after the House convenes at 3 in the afternoon in the assembly hall of the Sangsad Bhaban, now given a facelift to receive a new regime.
A major business of this parliament will be to deal with a big load of Ordinances made during the just-past interim regime since the 1/11, 2007 changeover, which will be placed in the maiden session for ratification.
