SCBA election to begin tomorrow

The two-day annual election of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) with its 14 executive posts including that of president and secretary will begin tomorrow.

The polling will continue from 10:00am to 5:00pm at the bar association building and the result is likely to be announced on Thursday night, SCBA Superintended Nimesh Chandra Das said today.

He said a total of 7,825 lawyers have been listed to exercise their voting rights in the SCBA election.

A four-member committee led by Advocate AY Masiuzzaman will conduct the election, Nimesh added.

SCBA sources said the main contest would be held between the panel of the ruling Awami League-backed Bangabandhu Awami Ainjibi Parishad and BNP-backed Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Oikya Panel.

Bangabandhu Awami Ainjibi Parishad has nominated Advocate AM Aminuddin, a former SCBA secretary, and Advocate Md Abdun Nur Dulal as candidates for the posts of president and secretary.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Oikya Panel has nominated Advocate AJ Mohammad Ali, a former SCBA president, and its incumbent secretary Barrister AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon as candidates for the posts of president and secretary.
