Dr. Faisal Manzoor elected new Secretary General of HOBA

Dr. Faisal Manzoor was elected as HOBA's new Secretary General amid a yet another noisy and full of commotion election. Dr. Faisal's panel consisted of Amjad Saeed Yazdanie from the 18th Entry and Azhar Ali Shah and Nadeem K. Haq, both from the 24th Entry. There were only two nominations received this year for the post of the Secretary General, after Nayyar Islam's announcement that he will not be contesting the elections this year. The other nomination for this post was that of Dr. Afaq Hussain from the 24th Entry. No nomination was received for the President's post, and accordingly Syed Ashfaq Hussain will continue to hold this post for another year. Dr. Afaq's panel consisted of Tanvir Bukhari and Jahangir Sherpao, both of whom were contesting for the post of the Members of the Executive Committee. Ironically, during the scrutiny of the nomination papers, all other nominations were rejected except Dr. Faisal Manzoor and Fawad Manzoor. Fawad later withdrew his nomination papers. The management of HOBA later announced to accept all nominations which had earlier been rejected on some solid ground by the Scrutiny Committee. Mr. Mahfooz-ur-Rehman was requested to be the Election Commissioner and was assisted by Mr. Misbah-ul-Hasnain. Strangely enough, all other members of the "Election Commission" were incumbent office bearers of HOBA. Some people put the estimate of Abdalians present at the Annual General Meeting to be about 500. But it came out as a shock to many once Mr. Mahfooz-ur-Rehman announced that only 79 people had cst their vote. This comes to around 16% of the people present, denoting that 84% people did not vote. |

The New Abdalians Alumni Home
The Web Team at Abdalians Alumni Home is pleased to present the new website. The site has been completely revamped and upgraded to a more stable version of technology. The first version of the site was launched way back in 2001. It was a very basic site at that time and one of the biggest challenges was gathering of news about the community. With the passage of time and increase in news content, the site became the number one community news network.
The new site has improved search capability and members will now be able to search by name, by the year of entry, and by city, if they so desire. The main categories have now been placed right on the main page for ease of navigation. We will anxiously look forward to your comments and suggestions for further improvement. We would also like to thank the many people who have written to us with their comments in the past, enabling us to present to you the site, as it looks today.
