There are three contestants for the office of the vice-president: Sajid Mehmood Ansari, Sajid Sanpal and Shiekh Khalid Hakeem.
Masood Qureshi, Khawaja Ejaz Hussain and Malik Fiaz Hussain will compete for the slot of finance secretary.
As many as 19 lawyers are competing for ten offices of the DBA executive council.
