The two Gono Forum-nominated MPs elect have been “clearly” told by the party not to take the oath, Dr Kamal said after the meeting. A former vice-president of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union or DUCSU and president of Bangladesh Chhatra League, Sultan Mansur had risen as high as to the position of organising secretary in the Awami League. He went under the fold of Gono Forum chief Dr Kamal Hossain after he faced the wrath of the Awami League leadership for seeking reforms during the 2007-08 military-controlled caretaker government. The Awami League has formed government for the third consecutive term after winning 258 constituencies while the Oikya Front secured eight. The alliance rejected the results of the polls and said their candidates, who won the elections, would not take oath as MPs.
