The 2024 Bangladesh Presidential resignation protests are an ongoing protest demanding President Mohammed Shahabuddin's resignation stem[4] from his controversial remarks following the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Protesters accuse Shahabuddin of siding with authoritarian forces, fueling dissatisfaction among students and civil society groups.[5][6]

This movement, initiated by student-led organizations, has intensified due to widespread frustration with political corruption, government mismanagement, and a perceived erosion of democracy under the Awami League's rule. Calls for constitutional reform and the president's removal have become central to the protests.[7][8]
