Dr Rateb Jneid
In a fiercely contested election held at AFIC Annual Congress in Sydney on Saturday 1 October 2022 incumbent President Dr Rateb Jneid was elected for his second term as president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils.
Dr Jneid who succeeded Keysar Trad to the position of President in 2017 told a gathering of Muslim leaders from all around Australia that he intends to intensify efforts to unite the community and lead Australian Muslims to greater participation in all the productive fields of Australian life.
“In contesting this election, some of my opponents resorted to slander and vilification to win votes. This slander is grossly un-Islamic, unethical, false and counterproductive. I am grateful that our voters saw through this and endorsed the values of honesty, integrity and hard work for which I stand. In the interests of the common good and notwithstanding the slander, I will work tirelessly to embrace, under my leadership, the factions within my community,” Dr Jneid said.
AFIC new Executive Committee consists of the following members:
Mr Harun Abdullah, Vice President
Mr Mahabub Ali, Secretary
Mr Adam Demir, Treasurer
Ms Siddiga Adam, Assistant Secretary
Mr Mohamad Berjaoui, Assistant treasurer
Mr Ahmed Hegazi, Member
