Mohiuddin still mayor on CCC website
The Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) website still features ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury as the incumbent mayor with his signed message to the investors and business community.
Mohiuddin is contesting in today's CCC polls for the fourth consecutive time as the mayoral candidate of ruling Awami League-backed Nagorik Committee.
As per the Representation of the People Order, he resigned from the post of Mayor on May 20, just before filing nomination paper for today's election.
This is the first time Mohiuddin resigned from the post before polls. The city Awami league president contested for the mayor post twice -- in 2000 and 2005 -- without resigning as a mayor.
This time he had to step down as the EC decided to enforce the electoral laws strictly.
Ward councillor Zahirul Islam Dovash, also a contestant for Firingibazar ward-33, took charge as CCC acting mayor after Mohiuddin's resignation.
In these 27 days, the CCC authorities did not bring any change to the website (www.ccc.org.bd).
Zahirul Islam yesterday told The Daily Star that he was unaware of the website status as no one had drew his attention in this regard. "I am directing the officials concerned right now to bring necessary corrections in the website."
Meanwhile, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, chief agent of BNP-backed candidate Mohammad Manjur Alam, alleged that Mohiuddin still uses CCC to confuse voters.
