Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin Likely to Resign Amid Political Tensions
Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin is reportedly likely to resign nearly two years before his term ends, according to multiple political sources and local media. The anticipated resignation follows reports that the current government, led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, is uncomfortable with Shahabuddin, partly due to his alleged attempts to reconnect with former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been living in India since August 2024. The situation is described as complex amid Hasina's announced plans to return to Bangladesh and ongoing political tensions following the 2024 student-led protests and subsequent legal actions against Hasina and her associates.
