Shahabuddin: "Humiliated" by Yunus govt, will resign after 2026 polls.

  • Bangladeshi President Mohammed Shahabuddin plans to resign after the February 2026 parliamentary elections.
  • He cited feeling "humiliated" by the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus as a reason for his decision.
  • Shahabuddin's role gained prominence after student protests forced PM Sheikh Hasina to flee, making him the last constitutional authority.
  • He alleged Yunus had not met him, his press department was removed, and his portraits were taken down from embassies.
  • Parliamentary elections are set for February 12, 2026, along with a referendum on the "July Charter."

Why It Matters: President's planned resignation highlights Bangladesh's political instability.
