No names were announced for the posts of treasurer, information and media secretary, cultural affairs secretary and international affairs secretary.
Executive President Subrata, who announced the name in front of the media on Sunday, said the names for the vacant posts will be announced later.
Speaking at the event, Gano Forum President Kamal reiterated that the 11th National Parliament was not formed through a free and fair election.
The Constitution stipulates that the people are the owner of the country, he said before adding, “But that’s not the case anymore.”
Urging the people to stand up for their rights, Kamal said his party Gano Forum was always working for to restore the people’s democratic rights.
