A total of eight BCB board directors and the two new NSC nominated directors were physically present in the meeting.
Nazmul was elected as the BCB boss for the third time in October 2021 by the directors of the board after he was elected as a director in the election.
He bagged 53 votes in the second category where 16 candidates contested for 12 director posts.
Nazmul was first appointed as the board president by the Bangladesh government in 2012.
He was later elected as the president unopposed in the last election in 2017.
