Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin has resigned citing serious health issues.
Shahabuddin, 76, has held the largely ceremonial post of president since April 2023, a period that included volatile months after Hasina’s flight to India following a student-led uprising against her rule in 2024.
The resignation of Shahabuddin would leave Hasina with no allies in high office five months before her planned return.
Her Awami League party is banned, and many of its leaders and activists have been jailed or gone into hiding since a deadly student-led uprising toppled her government in 2024.
