A Dhaka court on Thursday cancelled the results to the 2020 DSCC election and announced BNP leader Ishraque Hossain as mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC).

Judge of Dhaka First Joint District Judge and Election Tribunal Md Nurul Islam passed the order, said the defendant’s lawyer Taherul Islam Touhid.

The BNP leader was present at the court while the court was delivering the judgment.

Later, a celebratory procession led by Ishraque was brought on the court premises following the verdict.

Ishraque is the son of undivided Dhaka City Corporation’s former Mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka.
