The current president of Bangladesh is Mohammed Shahabuddin (often written as Mohammad Shahabuddin).

Quick Scoop: Who is he?

  • Mohammed Shahabuddin has been serving as president of Bangladesh since April 2023.
  • He is a former judge and politician who was elected unopposed as the nominee of the Awami League.
  • The role of president in Bangladesh is largely ceremonial, with real executive power held by the prime minister and cabinet.

What’s happening recently?

  • In late 2025, Shahabuddin publicly said he intends to step down midway through his term after the parliamentary elections scheduled for February, citing feeling “humiliated” and sidelined by the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
  • Despite that, he also stated he would remain in office until the elections are held, to maintain constitutional continuity, and then leave it to the new government to decide his successor.

In short: as of early 2026, Mohammed Shahabuddin is still the sitting president of Bangladesh, though he has signaled his intention to resign once the post‑election transition is settled.
