The party’s newly-elected MPs will not join the government’s new cabinet, Ershad said in a statement on Friday.
“I am requesting the honourable speaker of parliament to take necessary steps on this matter,” he said.
After the Awami League, its ally Jatiya Party won the second largest number of seats following the general election on Sunday. The party has 22 seats in parliament next to Awami League's 257.
Ershad nominated himself as chief of the opposition bloc “in line with his highest position within the party”, said the statement.
His younger brother and party co-chairman GM Quader has been chosen as deputy leader of the opposition.
Ershad's statement however leaves out any mention of his wife Raushon Ershad, who was leader of the opposition in the previous parliament.
