AK Azad, who took charge of the apex trade body FBCCI from Annisul, termed the mayor the 'most successful president of the organisation'. Mayor Huq went to London at the end of July as his daughter was scheduled to give birth the following month. Huq was elected Dhaka North City Corporation mayor on a ruling Awami League ticket in April 2015. He had served as president of Bangladesh’s apex trade body FBCCI during the military-installed caretaker administration. Before that, he also headed the trade body of apparel makers and exporters, BGMEA.
