Duta polls on December 29
The Dhaka University Teachers' Association (Duta) election will be held on December 29 to elect the executive council for 2023, as per the election schedule.
Pro-Awami League teachers will contest the polls under "Blue Panel" and pro-BNP teachers under "White Panel", said insiders.
The voting would be held at Dhaka University Club.
Faculty of Pharmacy Dean Prof Sitesh Chandra Bachar will function as the election commissioner.
The two panels are yet to finalise their candidates.
Blue panel convener Prof Abdus Samad told The Daily Star, "It will be known within December 17 who will get nomination… against 15 posts."
On the other hand, white panel convener Prof Lutfur Rahman said, "We hope that within two days [December 14 or 15] we can announce our candidates' names."
In the last Duta election held on December 30 in 2021, the blue panel won 14 posts while the white panel only one.
