Ershad
Hussain Muhammad Ershad was a Bangladeshi military officer and politician who served as the President of Bangladesh from 1983 to 1990. He was known for establishing a political party during his military rule, which was often criticized as a 'King's Party' due to its centralized authority and lack of democratic processes. Ershad's tenure was marked by both infrastructural development and widespread human rights abuses. After being ousted from power, he continued to influence Bangladeshi politics and attempted to re-establish his political presence in the years following his presidency.
Born on Feb 15, 1930 (95 years old)
