BACCO Election Sees Limited Contest for Five Director Seats

Voting is underway for the 2026–2028 Executive Committee of the Bangladesh Association of Contact Center and Outsourcing (BACCO), a leading trade body representing the country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) and contact centre industry.

Polling began at 10 am on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at a single booth set up at Hotel Empyrean in the Shaheenbagh area of Dhaka. Voting is scheduled to continue until 4 pm, after which the election board will begin counting ballots and announce the preliminary results.

With candidates for the president, general secretary and five other top positions elected unopposed, the main contest is limited to five general director seats. Six entrepreneurs are competing for those positions, and five will secure places on the 12-member executive committee. BACCO has 192 eligible voters.

Six candidates vie for five director seats

The candidates are Mostafa Jamal Yusuf, managing director and CEO of Visor X Limited; Faisal Salam, chairman of Fridaysoft Limited; S. M. Masiur Rahman, director of Ticon System Limited; Mohammad Saiful Islam, founder and CEO of Invicta Solutions Limited; Ashikur Rahman, CEO and founder of Ignite Tech Solutions; and Md Mahmudul Hasan Saikat, CEO of Servify Tech Solutions BD.

Listed from ballot number one to six, the candidates are seeking votes from eligible members, who can select any five of the six names on their ballots. One candidate will therefore miss out on a seat.
