Biography
Ibrahim Adaham Abdul Cader was born in Thalapitiya, Southern Province, Sri Lanka on 5 January 1917[1] and received his primary school education Mahinda College in Galle before attending St. Peter's College, Colombo.[2] He then entered the Ceylon Law College, passing out as a Proctor. Cader went on to be a lawyer and a gem merchant.[2] He was also elected as the President of the All Ceylon Moors Association.
Cader was a member of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party[2] and in July 1960 was successful in gaining a seat representing the Beruwala Electoral District at the fifth parliamentary election defeating his UNP rival, Abdul Bakeer Markar by 2,771 votes.[3] Between 12 February 1964 and 17 December 1964 he held the position of Deputy Chairman of Committees.[4]
At the sixth parliamentary elections held in March 1965, Cader ran again but was unsuccessful in retaining his seat, losing by just over 1,700 votes to Abdul Bakeer Markar.[5] On 23 October 1969 he was appointed as a Senator by the Governor-General, William Gopallawa.[6] He ran again for the seat of Beruwala in May 1970 this time defeating Markar by almost 4,000 votes.[7] On the 22 May 1970 he was appointed as Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees, a position that he held until 18 May 1977.[8]
Cader did not contest the 1977 parliamentary elections and was subsequently assigned as the country's ambassador to Egypt.[2]
