The two candidates are Ahmed Iqbal Hasan, the former DSE president and chief executive officer of Ahmed Iqbal Hasan Securities Ltd, and Minhaz Mannan Emon, former director of the premier bourse and managing director of BLI Securities.

The election commission of the DSE posted the list of candidates on the bourse’s website on Monday, the last day for nomination submission.

The election for the post of a shareholder-director of the DSE will be held on March 20, as one director will retire this year in line with the demutualisation scheme.

The three-member election commission headed by the retired Judge of the Supreme Court Md Abdus Samad, declared the DSE election schedule on February 5.

As per the election schedule, the DSE election will be held on March 20 at 10:30am to 4.00pm without any break at the ground floor of Stock Exchange building at Motijheel in Dhaka.

This year, 256 DSE voters are eligible to cast their ballot.

The newly elected director will join the 13-member board at the bourse’s annual general meeting (AGM) scheduled to be held on March 22.
