Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin Expected to Resign Amid Political Tensions
Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin is reportedly likely to resign nearly two years before his term ends, according to political sources and media reports. Shahabuddin remains the only constitutional officeholder after the 2024 student-led protests that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. Reports suggest Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's administration is uncomfortable with Shahabuddin, partly due to his attempts to reconnect with Hasina, who has been living in India since August 2024 and plans to return in December. The situation reflects ongoing political tensions following Hasina's death sentence in absentia by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal.
