Acting President's decision to form the cabinet within a week with BNP leaders has removed the confusion created following his speech on Friday.

BNP leader Khaleda Zia called on Acting President on Saturday and asserted that her party emerged as the single largest one In the election (BNP) enjoys the support of the majority members, party sources said.
The existing Constitution provides for presidential system of government and therefore, Justice Shahabuddln Ahmed will continue as chief executive until the presidential election is held or the Constitution is amended to provide for parliamentary form of government. Khaleda Zia and the cabinet will be responsible to the President constitutionally. But political analysts strongly feel that BNP earned the moral right through the election to govern the country and Khaleda will exercise real power even under the existing Constitution as Prime Minister. A constitutional pundit described the scenario as BNP ruling the country under a caretaker Acting President.
