Hussain Muhammad Ershad

Hussain Muhammad Ershad was a Bangladeshi military officer and politician who served as the country's President from 1983 to 1990. Coming to power through a military coup in 1982, he ruled Bangladesh during a period of political instability and economic challenges. His government implemented some reforms but also faced widespread protests and opposition. In 1990, mass demonstrations led to his resignation, paving the way for civilian democratic elections. Ershad later became a prominent political leader, founding his own party, and continued to influence Bangladesh's political landscape until his death in 2019.
