ATM Shamsul Huda died Saturday morning at his home. The former Chief Election Commissioner was 83 years old when he passed away around 9am. His family rushed him to United Hospital where doctors confirmed his death. The funeral prayers will wait until his daughter flies back from America. His wife and daughter are the only family members left behind.
Huda ran the country's elections back during 2008. He worked hard to make people trust the voting process again after years of political chaos. Many remember him as the man who cleaned up Bangladesh's messy election system. He made sure votes actually counted and results were fair. His work helped bring back honest elections to the nation.
The veteran official started his career way back during Pakistan times. He joined the Pakistan Civil Service when he was just 25 years old. After Bangladesh became independent, he switched over to work for the new government. He climbed the ranks and held many important jobs over the decades. Huda finally retired from government work at the turn of the century.
During his long career, he managed different government departments. He served as a district officer down south and later became a top secretary. He ran the country's biggest farming bank for several years. Water resources and finance were two major areas where he made his mark. Government officials respected him for his honest approach to public service.
