A group of Bangladesh Garment Buying House Association (BGBA) members form a new panel, United Forum, to participate upcoming poll of the apex body, and announced JBL Fashions Managing Partner Mohammad Mofij Ullah Bablu’s name as panel leader.

Leaders of the panel Flatkinit International Managing Director Md Nahidul Huda, CRV Resources Managing Director Rezwanul Haque Seraji, Biz Xpress CEO Mohammad Kawser Alam also were present at the press conference.
According to the BGBA, the poll will hold on March 2, and the voting centre is yet to fix. Although the apex body of the export-oriented readymade garment sector buying house has nearly 1,700 members, 819 voters registered their name in the voter list.
Panel leader Bablu said, “After five years of getting registration from the government, the members of the BGBA finally going to exercise voting rights. We want to build the BGBA as an actual trade body such as BGMEA and BKMEA.”
He further said that exporters are receiving orders through buying houses. But due to the lack of leadership, the apex body could not functional. That is why the buying house owners cannot receive proper service from the BGBA.
“We decided to nominate candidate in mix-up with experienced, elder and younger, and the full 15 panel candidates name will announce as soon.”
