In a press briefing at Sonargaon Hotel, Anwar-Ul-Alam Chowdhury Parvez, the Forum Panel chief, said he has already submitted a petition to the election appeal board of the trade body to suspend the election results.
"If the appeal board fails to take proper action, we will go to court," said Parvez, who boycotted the election on March 19, demanding a clear, flawless voter list for the election.
He demanded a fresh election under a new voter list and said: "I will continue a legal battle if a fresh election is not held with a new voter list.”
He complained the voters whose names were taken off the list were not given enough time to appeal, but were made voters again on Sunday.
"There might be a question about the credibility of the election. BGMEA should play a professional role in running the business," Parvez said.
Mahmudur Rahman Manna, a Forum leader, said the business will not be hampered for the election problems. “We just don't agree with the election as it was held in an undemocratic manner.”
Another Forum leader, MA Salam, said: "The election should not take place keeping the opposition away."
In the Sunday's election held simultaneously in Dhaka and Chittagong, Sammilito Parishad led by Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin won all the 27 posts.
The rival panel, Forum, boycotted the election alleging a “faulty” voter list.
