Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury swore the former military ruler into parliament at her office on Sunday at a ceremony moderated by Parliament Secretary Zafar Ahmed Khan. He was then helped up by his brother GM Quader, co-chairman of the Jatiya Party. Later, Ershad went to the office of the parliament secretary in his wheelchair to sign the book for parliamentarians. On last Thursday, 21 MPs elected from the Jatiya Party were sworn in without Ershad. He could not take part in the election campaign for health reasons, but won the election from the Rangpur-3 seat.
