No expectation from the new President, says Mirza Fakhrul

BNP does not expect anything from new President Md Shahabuddin as the party thinks he will not be able to play a courageous role in ensuring a credible national election, reports UNB.

"We know what role he (President) may play…he has no chance to go beyond the constitution and we don't think he has that courage," said BNP Secretary-General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

Talking to reporters at BNP Chairperson's Gulshan office, he also said they do not have confidence in the new President.

Fakhrul said they got a little bit disappointed when Md Shahabuddin was made president as people do not know him. "So, we can't say much about it."
