President freedom fighter Md. Shahabuddin may resign soon, citing physical illness, multiple reliable sources have reported.

Sources told BD Digest that he has already mentally prepared himself for his resignation and may submit his resignation letter within the next few days, following the constitutional process.

An official close to the president said, “He is definitely going; time is very short.”

However, no official announcement has been made by Bangabhaban or the government in this regard so far.

According to multiple sources at Bangabhaban, the government has requested the President to resign voluntarily at a convenient time. Since then, he has been seriously considering the matter of resignation.

Sources claim that he does not have much time to resign.

An official at Bangabhaban, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the president often refers to his physical condition and says, “My body is not doing well; I can take any decision at any time.”

Another official said that while there is a possibility of resignation, no specific date has been finalized yet. He will submit his resignation after following the proper constitutional process.

The sources further said that after resigning, the President will take some rest. If necessary, he may also go abroad for medical treatment. According to the constitution, if the post of President becomes vacant, the Speaker of the National Assembly will temporarily assume the duties. After that, a new President will be elected by the members of the National Assembly within the stipulated time.

Meanwhile, widespread discussion has begun in the political arena and on social media about the possible resignation of the President. Various rumors and speculations have been going on about the matter for several days.

It is worth noting that Md. Shahabuddin was elected as the 22nd President of the country on February 13, 2023, and assumed office on April 24 of the same year. He played an important role in the constitutional process of forming an interim government after the political upheaval of 2024.
