Following a board meeting on 6 May, a final list of various associations, clubs and organisations has been prepared, from which the names of 192 councillors will be invited under three categories. The board will send letters to the respective associations, clubs and organisations requesting nominations for their councillors.
The deadline for submitting the names of councillors is 16 May.
The previous BCB board, led by Aminul Islam Bulbul, was dissolved by the NSC on 7 April following allegations of widespread irregularities during last year's 6 October elections. On the same day, the NSC formed an 11-member ad hoc committee, appointing former national captain Tamim Iqbal as its president.
