SCBA polls begin
Overdue elections to the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) began yesterday to elect its new executive committee for 2008.
Six candidates are vying for the post of president while the same number of candidates is contesting for the post of general secretary.
The turn out at the polling booths on the first-day of the 2-day voting was rather poor. Of 1779 voters, 539 cast their votes yesterday.
The SCBA election commission said the results will be published today night.
The annual election of SCBA was postponed on March 25, 2007 following the imposition of the state of emergency.
Later, it was scheduled for March 24 but was deferred to April 28-29 after a negotiation between the government and the SCBA.
