Staff Reporter : A group has started a campaign to cancel the recently announced results of the election of the executive committee (2025-2027 term) of the Bangladesh Private Medical College Association (BPMCA). The election of this organization was held on July 16 at the CIRDAP auditorium in the capital. In this, the Mohiuddin-Mukit panel and the Afroza-Moazzem panel contested and 92 out of a total of 110 voters exercised their right to vote.
The results were announced after the peaceful voting in the presence of two representatives from each of the rival councils. In this election, Dr. Sheikh Mohiuddin was elected as the president and Dr. Abdus Sabur as the organizing secretary from the Mohiuddin-Mukit panel. On the other hand, Dr. Moazzem Hossain won a total of 19 positions in the election, including as the general secretary from the Afroza-Moazzem Parishad.
After the announcement of the final results, an appeal was filed by the Afroza-Moazzem panel outside the rules and the Appeal Board accepted it outside its jurisdiction because the appeal application was accepted at around 8:30 pm after the deadline for accepting appeals had expired.
The election was held peacefully and competitively, as reported in various media outlets across the country. The Afroza-Moazzem panel won the most posts. On the other hand, only two people, including the president and organizing secretary, won from the Mohiuddin-Mukit panel. After voters cast their votes throughout the day in a free, fair and peaceful environment, the nominated agents of the two councils signed the draft results.
Currently, there is an attempt to nullify the election results and take away the democratic rights of the voters. Those concerned hope that this appeal will be dismissed by following the proper legal process, respecting the opinions of the voters and preventing the conspiracy of the syndicate.
