After poll results, uncertainty prevails in Bangladesh over opposition structure

The BNP has rejected the elections results as "farcical and rigged" and demanded fresh polls under a non-partisan caretaker government. The party has also said its MPs-elect would not take oath as lawmakers on Thursday. Former president HM Ershad's Jatiya Party, which is part of the Grand Alliance led by Hasina, on Wednesday hinted that they could emerge as an opposition in Parliament. The Awami League got 258 seats while Jatiya Party won 22 seats. "We will take a decision tomorrow (Thursday) whether Jatiya Party will be with the government or emerge as the parliamentary opposition," party secretary general Moshiur Rahman Ranga told a news briefing after a three-hour-long meeting with the party leaders. He added: "In terms of representation in Parliament after the election results, our position is second after the Awami League. " The Jatiya Party acted simultaneously as the main opposition and partner of the ruling alliance with induction of its several lawmakers in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's cabinet after the 2014 elections, which the BNP had boycotted. When asked about the party's position about its lawmakers who are still in the Cabinet, Ranga said, "until now we are in the (Awami League-led) Grand Alliance". "We will soon decide about our stance," he added. Dailyhunthttp://langleygymnastics.ca/ActivityFeed/tabid/60/userId/900609/Default.aspx
