Dhaka District Awami League triennial council was held last September 2016 while freedom fighter Benazir Ahmed was appointed as the president and a 71-member Dhaka District Awami League committee was formed with Mahbubur Rahman as the general secretary.  

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the council was scheduled to be held in 2019 but was not held on time.
