The National Press Club of Bangladesh has temporarily suspended its Management Committee Election for the 2026–2027 term, originally scheduled for December 31. The Election Conducting Committee, chaired by S.A.M. Shawkat Hossain, announced the decision in a notice signed by all committee members on Thursday.

According to the notice, nearly all candidates for the president position and all but one for the general secretary position submitted written requests to postpone the election, citing unavoidable circumstances. Following discussions with the club’s management committee, the election body unanimously decided to suspend the vote until further notice.

The committee stated that the next steps and a new schedule will be announced in due course. The temporary suspension reflects internal consensus among candidates and organizers to ensure a fair and participatory process once conditions permit.
