Dhaka Mariner Youngs Club Hockey Committee Chairman and Mohammedan SC councillor AKM Mominul Haque Sayeed was elected new general secretary of the Bangladesh Hockey Federation (BHF) on Monday. Sayeed beat outgoing general secretary and first captain of Bangladesh National Hockey team Abdus Sadeque by 47-36 votes in the much-talked-about election.
In an instant reaction, Sayeed said, “We have got a fair election today. I hope we’ll work together for the development of hockey.”
All the 84 councillors of the federation exercised their voting rights from 10am to 3pm peacefully at the changed venue of Sultana Kamal Women’s Sports Complex in Dhanmondi.
The election commission shifted the polling venue from the National Sports Council NSC on Sunday, just a day before the election, to ensure a ‘free and fair’ election.general secretary
