A “special” council on Friday made Kazi Zafar Ahmed chairman and Golam Mosih secretary general of the newest faction of the Jatiya Party.
The special council of the party, which Kazi Zafar claims to be the main Jatiya Party, was held at the National Press Club in the city around 5pm.
Zafar was previously a presidium member of the HM Ersad-led Jatiya Party.
Ershad expelled Kazi Zafar from the party over differing opinions on the JP’s involvement with the national polls scheduled for January 5. However Zafar, later in a statement, expelled Ershad from the party and announced the special council.
In the council, among others, Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh chief AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, BNP leader Lt Gen Mahbubuddin Ahmed, JSD chief ASM Rob, Krishak Sramik Janata League chief Quader Siddiqui were present.
