Arfanul Haque Rifat (1957/1958 – 13 December 2023) was a Bangladeshi Awami League politician who was the 2nd mayor of Comilla City Corporation.[1] Rifat served as the general secretary of Comilla city unit Awami League from 2017 until his death.[2]

Career

Rifat joined the Chhatra League in 1976 and became president of its Comilla city unit after two years. He also served as a senior vice-president of the district unit of Jubo League.[3] He served as District Football Association president since 2010.[4] In 2022 Cumilla City Corporation election, Rifat defeated his closest rival former BNP leader Monirul Haque Sakku by a margin of only 343 votes. He took oath on 5 June 2022 by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as 2nd Mayor of Cumilla City Corporation (CUSIC).[5]

Controversies

Rifat was listed number one patron of drug dealers and smugglers in Cumilla according to a government agency which was listed by the prime minister's office in 2018, according to The Daily Star, Vorer Kagoj, Prothom Alo and other credible media.[6][7] Though, the leaders of Awami League denied the allegations.[8]

Death

Rifat died in Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore on 13 December 2023, at the age of 65.[9][10]
