Mohammed Shahabuddin is the 22nd President of Bangladesh, elected unopposed and sworn in on 24 April 2023 for a five-year term (constitutionally incumbent until April 2028). The Bangabhaban (former Government House, Dilkusha, Dhaka) is the official residence and principal workplace. Under Bangladesh's Westminster-derived constitution, the presidency is ceremonially active but substantively constrained: all executive acts require countersignature of the Prime Minister or a minister under Article 55. No verified presidential pardon was recorded in the 90-day window. The January 2026 US Ambassador credentials presentation (Brent Thomas Christensen, 15 January 2026) falls just outside the 90-day window from 2026-05-17 (cutoff: 2026-02-16). Established_year set to 1971, the year of Bangladesh's independence and the constitutional provision of the office; Bangabhaban itself has been the presidential residence since 1972.
