The Bangladesh Bar Council has announced the postponement of its upcoming election, which was scheduled for May 19. The decision was made unanimously at an emergency meeting held on the night of April 15 at the Bar Council building. The council cited the ongoing nationwide energy crisis as the main reason for the postponement, noting that the situation could severely disrupt election campaigns across the country.
According to the official statement, the energy shortage has made it difficult for candidates contesting for seven general and seven regional seats to conduct their campaigns effectively. Several bar associations, including the Supreme Court Bar Association, Dhaka Bar Association, and Chattogram District Bar Association, had requested the council to delay the election. Taking these appeals into account, the council decided to suspend the previously set schedule.
The May 19 election date had been fixed earlier on April 2 under the chairmanship of Attorney General and Bar Council Chairman Barrister Md. Ruhul Quddus Kajol, with senior committee representatives in attendance.
