GM Quader, chairman of the party and deputy leader of the opposition in parliament, signed the appointment on Saturday, the party said in a statement. 

Bablu died a week ago from complications related to COVID-19 at the age of 66, prompting the Jatiya Party to announce three days of mourning.

His successor Chunnu, an MP from Kishoreganj, is a former state minister for labour.

Chunnu said Quader informed him about his new position in the party.
