Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin resigned on Friday citing health complications, PTI reported. The 76-year-old submitted his resignation to Parliament Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, saying he was unable to perform duties due to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney issues.
Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin resigned on Friday, nearly two years before completing his five-year term, citing serious health complications. A longtime ally of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, the 76-year-old submitted his resignation to Parliament Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed.
In his resignation letter, Shahabuddin said he was suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney complications.
"Recently, medical tests detected a disease called Autonomic Neuropathy. Due to this illness, I sometimes lose consciousness briefly. Because of the prevalence of these diseases, I am physically and mentally incapable of discharging the responsibilities of such an important constitutional post of President," he wrote.
Speaker Ahmed, who returned to Dhaka after cutting short a medical visit to Bangkok, accepted the resignation. Under the Bangladesh Constitution, he will serve as Acting President until a new President is elected.
