Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) was the former[1] self-governing corporation[2] that was entrusted with the task of administering the municipal affairs of Dhaka. The incorporated area was divided into several wards.[2] Each ward has an elected ward commissioner. The mayor of the city was elected by popular vote every five years, although the last mayoral election took place in 2002.[2] The corporation was dissolved by the Local Government (City Corporation) Amendment Bill 2011 on 29 November,[1] passed in the Parliament of Bangladesh, and formally ceased to exist on 1 December 2011, following the President's approval,[3] making way for a Dhaka North and a Dhaka South city corporations.[4]
