He is the last constitutional office-holder from the previous Awami League administration to remain in office following the 2024 uprising that forced Hasina to flee to India.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>According to Bangladeshi media reports, the government had become unhappy over reports that Shahabuddin had recently attempted to re-establish contact with Hasina. However, senior political leaders said the reasons behind his resignation were &#8216;more complex&#8217;, particularly after Hasina publicly announced her intention to return.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Last November, Bangladesh&#8217;s International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death in absentia for their role in the crackdown on the 2024 student protests, charges she has denied.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Shahabuddin, a 1971 Liberation War veteran and former judge, had earlier told Reuters that he intended to step down after the general election, saying he had been sidelined during the tenure of the interim administration that replaced Hasina&#8217;s government.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The resignation comes at a politically sensitive time as the government of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman prepares for Hasina&#8217;s
