Bangladesh President to Resign Amid Political Turmoil

The President of Bangladesh, Mohammad Shahabuddin, is likely to resign soon, almost two years before his term ends.

This comes after political tensions and reports that he tried to contact the former Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, who is currently living in India.

The current government, led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, is unhappy with Shahabuddin's actions.

Hasina, who was sentenced to death in absentia by the International Crimes Tribunal, has announced she will return to Bangladesh in December.

The government has said she must face justice upon her return.

If Shahabuddin resigns, the Speaker of Parliament, Hafizuddin Ahmed, will take over as interim president until a new one is elected.
