EVENT – 3 – Election of new President

After bidding farewell to our out-going President, election of new President deemed necessary to continue to run the Office till the end of its term (2010 – 2011). Out-going President while referring relevant clauses from our Constitution which states in such a situation, its Vice-President could assume charge to run Office or any senior / experienced Officials from the current administration or any members from the various appointed Committees of TMCA could be chosen.
Following this protocol, TMCA invited its Vice-President Br. Hidayathullah who expressed his inability, due to his personal day-to-day tight schedule and recommended current General Secretary. Next, senior in Administration, its General Secretary Br. ‘Avoor’ Basheer Ahamed had been chosen unanimously by its Co-ordination Council members present, to become our new President and as such he was requested to assume charge and run Office who gladly accepted.
Since our General Secretary moves to Presidential position, to elect a new General Secretary, as understood to have been a common protocol, TMCA invited its Deputy General Secretary, Alwany Br. Abdul Razack to take charge. He re-called his earlier election moment stating that actually Br. Abdul Raheem (current Joint Secretary) had been chosen for this post but since he went on a long leave and unavailable by then, he accepted his job. Rightfully, he added that it would be more appropriate now to promote him to become General Secretary of TMCA who had been unanimously chosen by its Co-ordination Council members present to be our new General Secretary and as such he was requested to assume charge and run Office who gladly accepted.

A simple swearing-in ceremony took place. Oath of Office for President Avoor Br. Basheer Ahamed administered by former TMCA Presidents, Br. Mohamed Farook and Br. M.A.J.
