The election of a new committee during the 52nd annual meeting of Bangladesh Scouts was suspended amid allegations of irregularities. President Mohammed Shahabuddin had inaugurated the meeting, but the decision to select leadership by compromise rather than election led to the adjournment.

Outgoing president Md Abul Kalam Azad announced the suspension, stating that many voters had left, forcing the halt without formalizing the decision. The election, contested by eight candidates for four positions, will be rescheduled for July 6, raising concerns about potential compromises over elections.
