Bangladesh’s new parliament has formally begun its journey with members, ministers, and the prime minister taking oath, marking the start of the BNP-led government. Following this transition, discussions have intensified over when and how the next presidential election will occur. Current President Md. Shahabuddin, appointed during Sheikh Hasina’s tenure, remains in office with a term lasting until April 2028. Constitutional experts note that no new president can be elected unless he resigns or is impeached.
President Shahabuddin previously indicated his willingness to step down after the February election, citing discomfort during the interim government period. Analysts believe his resignation could pave the way for a smooth transition, as the new parliament and speaker assume their roles. Under the constitution, the president is elected by members of parliament, and the election is conducted by the Election Commission.
The July Charter, a proposed reform document, seeks to rebalance powers between the president and prime minister, potentially expanding presidential authority. However, experts caution that constitutional amendments are required before such changes take effect.
