Four ministers form Jatiya Party, who decided to submit their resignations to the Prime Minister, are awaiting the premiere’s appointment.
Civil Aviation and Tourism minister Ruhul Amin Hawlader, also the secretary-general of JP, told journalists on Saturday afternoon.
While briefing journalists after a meeting with party chief HM Ershad at his Baridhara residence in the capital, Hawlader said four JP ministers are set to submit their resignation letters to the Prime Minister on Sunday.
“Though we need to seek an appointment with the Prime Minister, we still haven’t got one yet,” he added.
Hawlader said that prime minister could not afford time for them due to the ongoing blockades and foreign guest’s visit to the country.
He said the ministers will seek time on Sunday again to submit their resignation letters, if she can give us time, we will submit then.
At the briefing however, GM Quader said that none of the party members who submitted their nomination paper has withdrawn their candidacy.
It is to be mentioned that Ershad himself did not withdraw his candidacy in three constituencies either.
The four ministers are Ruhul Amin Hawlader, GM Quader, commerce minister and Mujibul Haq Khan Chunnu, state minister for youth and sports, and Salma Islam, state minister for women and children affairs.
Salma met HM Ershad hours before the press conference. While leaving Ershad's residence, she told journalists that she would also submit her resignation to the prime minister on Sunday.
On Thursday, four ministers of Jatiya Party in the polls-time all-party government handed in their resignation letters over to party chief HM Ershad.
However, two other JP ministers Rowshan Ershad and Anisul Islam Mahmud and PM's Adviser Zaiuddin Bablu are yet to submit their resignation letters.
Earlier, in November, an interim cabinet was formed as per ruling Awami League president and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s proposal for an ‘all-party’ cabinet to oversee the upcoming polls.
Six ministers of the 29-member polls-time cabinet are from Jatiya Party who took oaths on November 21.
