Summary/Abstract: After the intensively criticized reis ul-ulema Hafiz Sulejman eff. Šarac in the beginning of October 1912. had resigned from his office, the Bosniak public was preoccupied by the question of selecting a new religious leader of the Bosnian Muslims. Hodžinska izborna kurija, respecting the wishes of broad Bosnian Muslim masses, proposed as a candidate the agile scholar Mehmed Džemaludin eff. Čaušević, the former member of the Ulema mejlis, but the proposal was against the will of several leaders from the Muslim parliamentary club, who proposed for the office of reis ul-ulema a Bosniak from Istanbul, a jurist Džafer Ilhami bey Kulenović. Since the Bosnian government, which followed its priorities, supported the parliamentary leaders, the proposal of the kurija was abolished and Kulenović was given a chance to enter the procedure of being nominated as the reis ul-ulema in the repeated voting. The kurija, however, managed to resist the pressure of both the government and the politicians and once again gave its confidence to Čaušević, which forced the government to recommend the nomination of Čaušević as the new reis ul-ulema for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
