Md. Moniruzzaman Moni (Bengali: এম ডি. মনিরুজ্জামান মনি)[4] is a Bangladeshi politician and mayor[5] of the Khulna City Corporation.[6][7][8]

Career

On 15 July 2008, Moni lost the Khulna mayoral election to Talukder Abdul Khaleque.[9]

Moni was elected to Mayor of Khulna in June 2013 as a candidate of Bangladesh Nationalist Party. He beat Awami League candidate and incumbent mayor Talukdar Abdul Khaleque.[10]

On 2 November 2015, Moni was suspended from the post of Mayor of Khulna by the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives. This decision was taken after two criminal cases were filed against Moni.[10] Around the same time the government also suspended Ariful Haque Choudhury, Mayor of Sylhet, Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul, Mayor of Rajshahi, and M. A. Mannan, Mayor of Gazipur.[10] The suspension was based on criminal cases from 2014. On 22 November 2015, Bangladesh High Court upheld his suspension order.[11]
