The first day of voting in the 2026–27 Dhaka Bar Association election concluded on Wednesday, with 2,759 votes cast out of a total of 20,727 registered voters. The two-day election will continue on Thursday, following the same schedule from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Despite rain, lawyers participated enthusiastically, choosing their preferred candidates in what was described as a peaceful and festive environment.
Chief Election Commissioner Alhaj Mohammad Borhan Uddin confirmed that 54 candidates are contesting for 23 posts, including 13 editorial and 10 executive positions. The BNP-backed Blue Panel, led by Anwar Zahid Bhuiyan and Md. Abul Kalam Khan, and the Jamaat-backed Green Panel, led by S.M. Kamal Uddin and Abu Bakar Siddique, are the main contenders. Six independent candidates, including Md. Yunus Ali Biswas and Mohammad Shahidullah, are also running.
Due to a state restriction, no Awami League-backed candidates are participating in this election. Both major panels expressed optimism about achieving a decisive victory.
