Sarowar Alamgir was sworn in as Member of Parliament on Thursday evening after the Election Commission (EC) published a gazette notification declaring him winner in the Chattogram-2 constituency.
Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad administered the oath to him at his office at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban at 7:15pm.
The oath-taking ceremony was conducted by Jatiya Sangsad Secretariat Secretary Barrister Md Golam Sorwar Bhuiyan.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman attended the ceremony.
After taking the oath, Sarowar Alamgir signed the oath register in keeping with parliamentary tradition.
Sarowar Alamgir secured victory in the 13th parliamentary election held on February 12 on a BNP ticket. However, the announcement was delayed due to legal issues surrounding his candidacy.
The High Court on Thursday cleared the way for him to take oath as a lawmaker as it declared the EC’s decision to reject his nomination paper illegal.
