FBCCI ELECTION

Plea to submit fresh nominations rejected

STAR BUSINESS REPORT
The FBCCI election board yesterday rejected the petitions of nine business leaders, who appealed to the board to allow them to submit nomination papers afresh for contesting the FBCCI election scheduled for August 21.
After scrutinising the report of FBCCI appeal board, the election board yesterday announced that the previous primary candidate list, which was published on July 21, is still unchanged barring the nine candidates from contesting the polls of the country's apex trade body.
Last Sunday seven business leaders complained to the election board that "they were cheated by two FBCCI leaders in submitting their nomination papers".
Six of them claimed they had handed over their nomination papers to the incumbent FBCCI
Director Mohammed Ali in good faith, but Ali did not submit those.
Another business leader lodged a separate complaint against A Rouf Chowdhury, an incumbent director of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), as Chowdhury "did not submit his nomination paper".
The business leaders alleged while collecting the nomination papers, both the FBCCI directors assured them of including their names as candidates in the panel.
Sources said appeals of the seven business leaders were not accepted as they handed over their nomination papers willingly at their own risk.
The two other business leaders, whose names were dropped from the primary list, appealed to the board that their documentation was correct.
The appeal board, which heard the statements from both the sides on Tuesday, submitted the report to the election board on Wednesday.
The election board primarily finalised nominations of 44 candidates, 27 from chamber group and 17 from association group, for 24 posts of directorship to the executive committee of FBCCI.
August 2 is the last date of withdrawing nominations for the FBCCI biennial election and the final candidates' list will be published on August 3.
Among the 38 executive committee members of the FBCCI, 12 will be elected from chambers, 12 from associations, 7 from local chambers and the rest 7 from local associations. As per FBCCI constitutional provision, the president will be elected from the chamber group this time.
