Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader announced the names of the new chairman and general secretary of Jubo League during the conference held at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh.
Parash, son of Awami Jubo League's founding chairman Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni, was involved in teaching at Brac University, while Nikhil was the president of Jubo League's Dhaka north unit.
Parash obtained a degree in English from Dhaka University. His younger brother Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh is a three-time MP from Dhaka-10 constituency while their uncle Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim is a member of the Awami League's presidium and a former chairman of Jubo League.
He succeeds another relative Omar Faruk Chowdhury, who is the husband of Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim's sister, as chairman of the organisation.

Six names-Mainul Khan Nikhil, Mohiuddin Mohi, advocate Belal Hossain, Subrata Pal, Monjurul Alam Shahin, Iqbal Mahmud Bablu and Bodhiul Alam Bodhi-were proposed for the post of general secretary.
