Showib Ahmmed is heavily criticized for the allegation of mass rigging in the 2022 Imruland President Election though the allegation of the rigging is not fully proved yet. He was also criticized to exile all the supporters of Fahim and Sazzad included them. Although Ahmmed brought Sazzad to the top of power, the relationship between Sazzad and Ahmmed started to deteriorate after Sazzad assumed the office of president. The supporters of President Sazzad were tried to impeach Ahmmed in several times. He blamed Fokhrul Sazzad as conspirator and destructor of Imruland in several times. Previously, after the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Shams Chomsky Rafi on 13 November 2022, another wave of political crisis erupted in Imruland. After much drama, Vice President Showib Ahmmed accepted his resignation. He also exiled him for creating instability in Imruland. Although Showib Ahmmed was criticized and trolled by the supporters of Shams Rafi, he gained immense popularity in Imruland to fire him. During this period, Imruland was filled by conspirators against government. Showib Ahmmed declared zero tolerance against them. He declared the supporters of Rafi as rebel and ordered to arrest them wherever they were found. The deportation order on Shams was later revoked after the instability made by Sazzad after the 2023 Imruland President Election. At that time Shams exposed all the conspiracies of Fokhrul Sazzad. Showib Ahmmed called him a great patriot of Imruland after the incidents and all of the bans on him and his supporters were lifted.
