Alumni mingled over tea and traditional Indian snacks, sharing warm conversations that highlighted the strong camaraderie within the Alig fraternity.
Counting commenced immediately after voting, and by 10:30 pm, the results were announced. Asim Mahfuz Kidwai was elected President winning over Mustafa Sarwar, while Ms. Shazia Mansoor emerged as Vice President, over Mohammad Asim Khan.
The remaining executive council members were elected unopposed, including General Secretary Mohammad Khurshid Anwar, Joint Secretary Syed Obaid Ahmad, OSD Syed Naved Asghar, DOSD Aaley Ali, and EC members Amaan Ahmad, Tanveer Ahmed, Abdul Rahman, Shadan Ahmed Khan, Hasan Kamal, Rizwan Ahmad Khan, Quaiser Danish, and Shabahat Ali Khan.
Outgoing President Aslam Parvez, in his concluding address, thanked the election commission, verification team, advisory committee, and alumni for their overwhelming support.
He lauded the democratic spirit of the community and expressed confidence in the newly elected team’s professionalism, dedication, and commitment to promoting educational, literary, cultural, social, and community welfare initiatives over the next two years.
With this election, AMUOBA reinforces its vision of fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and engaged alumni network, dedicated to the betterment of the association and the wider community in Kuwait.
