Jatiya Party (JaPa) Secretary General Moshiur Rahman Ranga has said his party leaders are not satisfied with the election results and that they should have won more seats than they did.
Jatiya Party, which is a part of Awami League-led Grand Alliance, secured 22 seats in the 2018 parliamentary election.
He stated this while addressing a discussion meeting—at JaPa’s Banani party office in Dhaka—at 11pm on Tuesday.
Ranga said: “Jatiya party is now the second largest and strongest political party. We have to work together to establish the party as a democratic one in future.
"The main objective for us now is to reorganize it and prepare from now on so that the party is voted into power at the next general election.”
Expressing his dissatisfaction over the election results, Ranga said the party’s newly-elected members of parliament, and presidium members, will hold a joint meeting at 11am Wednesday.
He also said the meeting will result in a decision about whether JaPa will stay with the government or in the opposition. Later another discussion will be held with the Grand Alliance in this regard.
JaPa Presidium Member Masuda M Rashid Chowdhury, Vice-Chairman Rowshan Ara Mannan and Joint Secretary Golam Mohammad Raju, among other senior leaders, were also present and spoke at the meeting.
