The Jatiya Party chief also instructed the candidates of his party to follow the decisions made by the Grand Alliance. The Jatiya Party supports the Grand Alliance, he said, and the candidates will follow its directives. But Jatiya Party Co-Chairman GM Quader went against the characterisation, saying that Ershad was as healthy as it could be expected from someone his age.

But Ershad then handed over ‘all of the organisational duties of the party chairman’ to Howlader before he left.
