Dhaka, Feb. 16 -- Newly elected MPs are set to take oath as members of the 13th parliament and also the Constitution Reform Council on Tuesday.

Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin will administer the oath in line with the Constitution as the posts of Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament are currently vacant.

The swearing-in ceremony will be held at the oath-taking room of the Jatiya Sangsad.

BNP's MPs-elect will take oath at 10am, while those of Jamaat-e-Islami will do so at 12pm, said Parliament Secretariat Secretary Kaniz Moula.

"Both oaths of the elected MPs as members of parliament and as members of the Constitution Reform Council will be held at a time (the same event)," she told UNB on Monday evening.
