Morshed Murad Ibrahim has been elected the president of Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI).
The newly elected 24 members of the board of directors in a meeting yesterday chose the chamber’s new leader.
Mahbub Alam and Nurun Newaj Selim were elected senior vice president and vice president.
In Tuesday’s biennial polls of the trade body, 18 directors were elected, while 6 others were previously elected uncontested.
Chittagong Babosayee Parisad, one of the two panels, boycotted the CCCI elections protesting the cast of votes by the nominees and proxy voters in violation of a High Court direction.
Ibrahim is the managing director of Crystal Group. He as a Grand Alliance candidate contested the last parliamentary election from a city constituency.
Alam is the proprietor of Alam Trading Corporation and president of Khatunganj Trade and Industries Association.

The Chamber Parishad, led by the trade body’s incumbent chief MA Latif MP won all the 17 director posts, while the rest one was won by Babosayee Parishad, led by former CCCI president Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Zaved.
