Career
editOn 15 July 2008, Moni lost the Khulna mayoral election to Talukder Abdul Khaleque.[9]
Moni was elected mayor of Khulna in June 2013 as a candidate of Bangladesh Nationalist Party. He beat Awami League candidate and incumbent mayor Talukdar Abdul Khaleque.[10]
On 2 November 2015, Moni was suspended from the post of mayor of Khulna by the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives. This decision was taken after two criminal cases were filed against Moni.[10] Around the same time the government also suspended Ariful Haque Choudhury, mayor of Sylhet, Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul, mayor of Rajshahi, and M. A. Mannan, mayor of Gazipur.[10] The suspension was based on criminal cases from 2014. On 22 November 2015, Bangladesh High Court upheld his suspension order.[11]
