The biennial election of the BGMEA was scheduled to be held on February 24 to elect its office bearers for 2011-12.
"The election date was deferred for some reasons and I do not want to quote the reasons right now. The three-member election board will announce a new date on Sunday," said chief of the election board Shafiullah Chowdhury.
The decision of postponement was taken after a discussion with the contestants, he said.
Anwar-ul-Alam Chowdhury Parvez, a president candidate from Forum, said the election date was deferred on consensus with the related stakeholders. "There are some anomalies on the voter list. I want a clean voter list to hold a fair election," Parvez said.
Similarly, Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin, a president candidate from Sammilito Parishad, said the decision was unanimous.
Abdus Salam Murshedy, president of BGMEA, said the election board has deferred the date in consensus with both candidates and other related persons. So, holding a fair election now depends on the election board," he said.
A total of 3,259 voters were scheduled to elect 27 directors through the election of the BGMEA.
According to the guideline, the elected directors will select one president and four vice-presidents to run the association for two years. Among the vice-presidents, one is elected from Chittagong region and others from Dhaka region.
