Bangladesh President steps down over health
Bangladeshi President Muhammad Shihabuddin announced his resignation due to a serious health issue, which is autonomic neuropathy that sometimes causes a temporary loss of consciousness. Parliament Speaker Hafezuddin Ahmad will assume the acting presidency until a new president is elected, in accordance with the constitution. Shihabuddin has been in office since April 2023 amid previous political unrest, and his role remains symbolic, as executive power is concentrated in the hands of the Prime Minister and the government.
