He was the first elected city mayor of Gazipur City Corporation of Bangladesh.[2] Before that he served as the religious affairs minister of Bangladesh from 1991 to 1993.[3] He also served as the minister of science and technology from 1993 to 1995.
Abdul Mannan was elected Gazipur City Corporation mayor in July 2013 and assumed office in August.
