“Impossible, Jatiya Party won’t split,” Ershad said after a press conference at his Banani residence today.
“No one can touch this party, I am its chairman. No one confuses anyone,” he said.
During the press conference, Ershad declared to remove his secretary general Ziauddin Bablu and made Ruhul Amin Howlader his new secretary general.

The press conference was held at 2:00pm this afternoon after a much hyped rift within the party centering the appointment of Ershad’s brother GM Quader as the co-chairman.
The move displeased many leaders as they took it as an indication of Quader being the next chairman of Jatiya Party.
On the other hand, splitting is nothing new for Jatiya Party. It has already split four times with the last one of Kazi Zafar Ahmed “expelling” Ershad and joining hands with BNP.
Ershad, who is currently a special envoy of the prime minister, is also a known chameleon character who flip-flopped went back on his words countless times.
