MPTCTA elects new office bearers

In a very dramatic move, Madhya Pradesh Telecom and Computer Traders Association
(MPTCTA), which were to select its representatives on June 12, held its elections for the first time in 10 years.

Till date MPTCTA had a record of not holding elections, but selecting representatives by a nomination committee. Said a very enthusiastic out
going president of the association Vaibhav Nagori, "This is the first time in the history of MPTCTA that we
had to hold an election. The nominations were filed for three posts for which two people had applied in
each category and no one was relenting to take back their names. So we had no choice but to hold elections, which saw a marked participation of
98 members."

For the seats-VP and Treasurer-the selections were done unanimously. He further informed that the contestants also went on
a campaigning spree before the elections. And the Nomination Committee had to be converted
into an Election Commission for conducting the elections.

While for this year Ashish Saxena is the President for the year 2004-2005, as with its tradition it also elected the President for
the next year. Saxena will take over the charges after June 30.
