In an urgent executive committee meeting held on Wednesday, BASIS’ executive committee (2024-26) voted to elevate senior vice-president M Rashidul Hasan to president, director Md Mostafizur Rahman Sohel to senior vice-president and director M Asif Rahman to vice-president (finance).
In its 332nd meeting, the committee members collectively decided to proceed without co-opting any external members, intending to manage all functions directly by the elected executive committee members.
Earlier on October 20, the BASIS had initiated an automated voting process among members to gauge opinions on two key propositions: whether to undertake necessary reforms to the constitution and subsequently hold mid-term elections, or whether the entire executive committee should resign.
Out of 594 participating members, 77.27 per cent voted in favour of completing reforms in collaboration with members and subsequently organizing elections, while 22.72 per cent supported an immediate resignation by the current executive committee.
