Bangabhaban is set to give farewell to M Abdul Hamid as his two-term tenure of the office of President ends today (April 23). 

Abdul Hamid is scheduled to handover the charge of the office to President-elect Md Sahabuddin through an oath-taking ceremony at Bangabhaban tomorrow (April 24) morning.  

The President made a history in the Presidential palace as he served over 10-year in the country's highest office in two-term.

Md Shahabuddin will become the country’s 22nd President while Abdul Hamid and his family will begin their transition back into their civilian life.

This may be Hamid’s last journey in a full motorcade and after this he will have to get used to stopping at traffic lights and intersections again.
 
Abdul Hamid will reside in his President Lodge at Nikanja in the capital as family utensils and other necessary materials were shifted there, said a family source. 

Abdul Hamid was earlier elected Member of Parliament (MP) for seven times since the country's independence in 1971.
