Before today's oath-taking ceremony, Tarique Rahman makes a strong statement: "There is no place for politics of vengeance."

On Tuesday, Tarique Rahman will take the oath of office as Bangladesh's new prime minister, marking a significant political event. In the 13th parliamentary elections, the 60-year-old chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) guided his party to a landslide victory. At 3:30 PM (4 PM Local Time), President Mohammed Shahabuddin will administer the oath to the Prime Minister and cabinet at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad, rather than the presidential residence.

Prior to the official formation of the government, all recently elected members of Parliament will take the oath of office earlier in the day.

With 209 of 297 seats won, the BNP has a clear mandate to form the government. The Awami League did not run for office, and Jamaat-e-Islami took home 68 seats. Following months of uncertainty, political observers characterize the results as a significant change in Bangladesh's political landscape.

Rahman made a clear statement about the course his government plans to take before he took office. He stated that there was "no room for politics of vengeance" in response to inquiries about how he would handle members of opposing parties. He made it very evident that any attacks motivated by political affiliation or divergent viewpoints would not be accepted.

He emphasized that political or personal retaliation had no place in governance and that the rule of law would govern his administration. He urged national unity, saying, "We may have different paths and differing opinions, but we must remain united for the sake of the country."

Following a tense period that included violent incidents against minority communities, the election was held. Rahman's appeal for unity has particular significance in light of this. On BNP tickets, four leaders from minority groups—two Hindus and two Buddhists—won seats. Their win has been interpreted as a significant indication of representation in the incoming legislature.

Rahman admitted that there are significant obstacles facing the new administration. He listed concerns about law and order, a fragile economy, and weakened institutions as pressing issues.

He declared that the restoration of stability and the maintenance of sound governance would be the main priorities of his administration. Rahman is making his first appearance in public office. He is the son of the late President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. After years overseas, he just returned to Bangladesh.

Approximately 1,200 guests from both domestic and foreign countries are anticipated to attend the swearing-in ceremony. Mohammed Muizzu and officials from nearby nations will be among the foreign dignitaries in attendance. Muhammad Yunus, who assumed leadership following political turmoil last year, served as interim chief until the transition.
