Seeking anonymity, a party insider said BNP leaders Barkatullah Bulu, Mohammad Shahjahan, Monirul Huq Chowdhury and Habibur Rahman Habib will be in the coordination committee.

Meanwhile, Gono Forum's AOM Shafiqullah, Zaglul Hayder Afrik and Mostak Ahmed will be in the committee, while Nagorik Oikya's Shahidullah Kayser, Mominul Islam and Zahedur Rahman and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal's Tania Rab, Abdul Malek Ratan and Shahiduddin Mahmud Swapan will be in the committee, he added.
