Self-proclaimed chairman of Jatiya Party Kazi Zafar Ahmed Saturday announced that his party is going to join the BNP-led 18-party alliance.
“We’ll join the 18-party alliance today, turning it into a 19-party one,” he told a press conference at his Gulshan residence.
Zafar said the decision of joining the alliance was taken at his party’s central working committee’s extended meeting in the afternoon.
The former Prime Minister claimed that he is the real Jatiya Party chairman and described HM Ershad as a villain and his wife, Raushan Ershad, as the leader of the pro-Awami League JP followers, according to a news agency.
