7 bills passed as parliament moves to endorse interim govt ordinances

Parliament today (6
April) passed seven bills as part of the move to endorse the relevant
ordinances promulgated during the interim government period.
Law Minister Md
Asaduzzaman placed the bills in parliament and Deputy Speaker Barrister Kayser
Kamal, who was chairing the House, later piloted the bills separately to voice
votes.
The bills include six
approved ordinances that were issued during the interim
government period: Representation of the People (Amendment) Bill
2026, Electoral Rolls (Amendment) Bill 2026, Delimitation of Parliamentary
Constituency Bill 2026, Election Commission Secretariat (Amendment) Bill 2026,
Election Officer (Special Provision) (Amendment) Bill 2026, and Bangladesh Law
Officers (Amendment) Bill 2026. The other bill repealed the National
Parliament Secretariat (Interim Special Provisions) Ordinance.
Out of the interim
government's 133 ordinances, 98 were designated by a special parliamentary
committee for presentation as bills to be converted into law.
These ordinances must be
passed within 30 days of the parliamentary session's start, meaning they should
be passed by 10 April.
Today, 10 of the 98
ordinances were introduced in parliament as bills.
The deputy speaker
adjourned parliament until 10:30am tomorrow (7 April), with two sessions
scheduled in morning and afternoon.
