The current parliament will have its final session on October 21.

President Abdul Hamid yesterday convened the session.

Proceedings of the 23rd session of the 10th parliament will begin at 4:30 on the day, said a release from the parliament secretariat. 

Prior to the session, the business advisory committee of parliament will hold a meeting with Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair. It will set the duration and businesses of the session.

The last session of parliament is likely to be very brief -- with three to four sittings, sources at the parliament secretariat said.

The present parliament is unlikely to go for any session after October 23, unless the president convenes.
