President of Bangladesh

Iajuddin Ahmed (born February 1, 1931) is the current President of Bangladesh and has been in office since 2002. He was born in Bikrampur of Dhaka District, erstwhile Bengal province, British India (now Munshiganj District, Bangladesh).
On 11 January 2007 Iajuddin Ahmed resigned from his position as Chief Advisor of the Caretaker Government, admitted the failure of the Election Commission and his government in creating a proper atmosphere for the election, bestowed the responsibility on Former Justice Fazlul Haque temporarily, abolished the board of advisors and announced a state of emergency from that day until further announcement.[4] The next day, Ahmed appointed Fakhruddin Ahmed to be the new chief advisor.

Although Ahmed's term as President was due to end on September 5, 2007, it was announced on that date that he would remain in office until after the election of a new parliament (planned to be held by late 2008), which will in turn elect a president, as the constitution provides for the president to remain in office until the election of a successor.
