In 2003, in its national conference, AFM Ruhal Haque and M Iqbal Arslan were elected as president and secretary respectively. In 2015, M Iqbal Arslan was elected as president, while M A Aziz was elected as secretary general of the organisation.[5][6][7] In 2022, Jamal Uddin Chowdhury was elected as president, while Kamrul Hasan Milon was elected as secretary general of the organisation.[1]
