However, he did not disclose the reason behind his decision to leave the organisation.
Attempts to contact Shadik via WhatsApp for comment were unsuccessful.
Earlier, on 1 May, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami announced Shadik Kayem as its prospective mayoral candidate for the Dhaka South City Corporation.
At the time, Chhatra Shibir said its office-bearers are not allowed to contest elections on behalf of any political party while holding positions within the student organisation.
