Bangladesh Agricultural University Teachers' Association (BAUTA) polls will be held on December 30. The voting will take places from 8:00am to 2:00pm The 15-members BAUTA committee will be formed through the polls. BAUTA general secretary Prof Dr Mohammad Moriruzzaman announced the polls date through a press release. 

According to the announcement, Acting President of BAUTA Prof Dr Md Abu Hadi Nur Ali Khan will be the presiding officer in the polls. Two panels usually take part in the polls, one from Awami backed teachers’ association Gonotantrik Shikkhok Forum and another one from BNP backed teachers’ association Sonali Dal, added in the press release.

In a press release, Awami backed ‘Nil Dal’ announced that they will not take part in the polls. Nil Dal has withdrawn from the polls by questioning the computerized voting process in the polls.

General Secretary of Nil Dal Prof Mohammad Sazzad Hossain said, ‘BAUTA polls will be held in a computerized system, which is an objectionable process. We called for taking vote in traditional voting ballot system, but they denied our proposal. That’s why we have decided to abstain from the polls.’ 

Presiding officer of the polls Prof Dr Md Abu Hadi Nur Ali Khan said, "I have received the written complaint. We asked them, how result can be manipulated in the computerized system. If they can explain it, we will abstain from the computerized system. But they fail to explain it. In the previous year, there had been no irregularity in the teachers' polls. This kind of comment is unexpected from them where digital system is ongoing all over the country.”
