Everyone affiliated with the process have collected their forms, the BCB president informed.

October 24 is the withdrawal date for the candidates. The election is likely to be settled without contest in regions except Dhaka and Barisal.

For Dhaka in category 1, out of two posts, Naimur Rahman Durjoy, who is part of Nazmul Hassan's panel is almost sure to be elected while there will be a contest between Sheikh Naim and Tanveer Ahmed Titu for the other post.

MA Awal Bulu, who is also part of the panel from Barisal division will contest Alamgir Khan.
