A Chattogram court on Tuesday (Oct 1) declared Dr. Shahadat Hossain as the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC).

Earlier, BNP's mayoral candidate Shahadat Hossain filed a case seeking the annulment of the election results due to allegations of rigging in election.

At the same time, the court also issued an order to publish the gazette within the next 10 days.

The Election Tribunal and the court of Joint District and Sessions Judge Mohammad Khairul Amin delivered the verdict this afternoon.

The court also asked the authorities concerned to publish a gazette notification in this regard within the next 10 days, said Arashad Hossain Asad, lawyer for Shahadat.

On February 24, 2021, BNP-backed mayoral candidate Dr Shahadat Hossain filed the case with the court, seeking an order to scrap the gazette notification declaring Rezaul Karim Chowdhury as Chattogram mayor.
