Advocate Mohammad Naser, a Jamaat-e-Islami–backed candidate, has been elected unopposed as president of the Banshkhali Lawyers’ Association for the 2026–2027 session. The result was announced on Thursday at the Banshkhali court premises. According to an official notice jointly signed by the election commissioners, Naser became the sole candidate after the nomination of his only rival was canceled, leading to his uncontested victory.

Naser previously served as the general secretary of the association for the 2024–2025 session, where he gained recognition among lawyers for his organizational skills and active participation. The election commission’s notice bore the signatures of Chief Election Commissioner Advocate Dilip Kanti Sushil and Assistant Commissioners Advocate Md. Saifuddin and Advocate Md. Jasim Uddin.

Elections for other posts in the association will be held through direct voting on April 20, with campaigning already underway and local lawyers showing strong enthusiasm for the upcoming polls.
