Encyclopedic overview

Mohammed Shahabuddin (born 10 December 1949) is a Bangladeshi jurist and civil servant who has served as the president of Bangladesh since 2023. He elected unopposed in the 2023 presidential election as the nominee of the then ruling Awami League. Prior to his presidency, Shahabuddin served as a district and sessions judge and a commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commission from 2011 to 2016. He was involved in Awami League politics during his student years but never formally joined politics afterward. Prior to the fall of Sheikh Hasina, he publicly expressed support for the Awami League on various occasions. Following the resignation, his political position drew public discussion and criticism from members of several political parties, some of whom questioned his political neutrality while serving as president.
