Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) is a self-governing corporation that is
associated with the task of running the affairs of the city. The
incorporated area is divided into several wards. Each ward has an elected
ward commissioner. The mayor of the city is elected by popular vote every
five years.
History
Dhaka City Corporation was established as the Dacca Municipality on August
1, 1864. Prior to that, a Committee for the improvement of Dacca was
established in 1823. The act of 1884 added the provision of elected
representatives called commissioners. In 1978, it gained corporation status.
In 1982, two adjoining municipalities -- Mirpur and Gulshan -- were merged
with Dhaka Municipality. In 1983, it was renamed as Dhaka Municipal
Corporation. Finally, in 1990, it was renamed as Dhaka City Corporation.
Until 1994, mayors were added by the Government. The first mayor elected by
popular vote took office in 1994. As of 2006, Sadeque Hossain Khoka is the
incumbent mayor.
