HM Ershad has once again named his brother GM Quader as his successor in the Jatiya Party some weeks after discharging him from the responsibility.
The former military dictator made the announcement in a statement sent to the media on Friday (Apr 5).
The latest move by Ershad, known for changing decisions every now and then, came barely two weeks after Quader was sacked on Mar 22 as co-chairman on the grounds of “failures to run the party.”
The next day, Quader also lost his post as the deputy leader of the opposition in parliament to be replaced by Ershad’s wife and Senior Co-Chairman Raushon.
During a party event on Apr 2, Raushon, with Quader by her side, said that there was no discord within the party over Chairman Ershad’s recent decision.
The conflict in the party over Ershad’s successor, however, has long been making headlines.
Ershad had tried to install Quader as his heir in the party several times but failed due to objection by Raushon’s supporters.
