The BAJUS Election Board confirmed the new executive committee on Monday and officially announced the results for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 terms at a press briefing at the association’s headquarters in Moghbazar, Dhaka. The results were announced by Election Board Chairperson Nasrin Fatema Awal.

The newly formed 35-member committee includes three vice-presidents, one treasurer and 29 directors, all elected without contest. Notably, BAJUS has abolished the general secretary post for the first time since its inception, with the senior vice-president now set to assume those responsibilities.
Vice-presidents elected are Azad Ahmed (Apan Diamond House), Abhi Roy (Jaroya House Pvt Ltd), and Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury (JCX Gold and Diamond). Amit Ghosh (New Fancy Jewelers) has been elected treasurer.
The new directors are: Md Milan Mia, Pawan Kumar Agarwala, Tanvir Rahman, Md Liton Howlader, Babul Dutta, Ganesh Debnath, Ashish Kumar Mandal, Minajur Rahman, Bikash Ghosh, Suman Chandra Dey, Mustafa Kamal, Dhananjoy Saha (Bipul), Srivas Roy, Md Ali Hossain, Md Rubel, Md Nayan Chowdhury, Md Salam, Fahad Kamal Lincoln, Gautam Ghosh, Mohammad Rabiul Islam, Md Tarekul Islam Chowdhury, Abu Naser Mohammad Abdullah, Md Rafiqul Islam, Soumen Saha, Akkas Ali, Mohammad Morshed Alam, Shaon Ahmed Chowdhury, Md Nazmul Huda Latif, and Palash Kumar Saha.
According to Section 24 (1) of the Trade Organization Rules 2025, since none of the eligible candidates withdrew their nominations and the candidate number matched the available posts, all 35 were elected unopposed.
Speaking after the announcement, newly elected President Enamul Haque stressed the need to simplify gold imports, saying, “There is a system for importing gold, but due to the complexities, no one wants to purchase at such high costs.”
He added that it is important to spread awareness that legitimate jewelers are not involved in smuggling. “Smugglers do not enter the formal gold trade, and traders do not smuggle. Until the import process becomes easier, we will push to reintroduce the baggage rule to ease gold supply.”
