Jatiyo Sangshad

Jatiyo Sangshad

Jatiyo Sangshad (Bangla: জাতীয় সংসদ "Jatio Shôngshod") or National Assembly is the national parliament of Bangladesh. The current parliament of Bangladesh contains 330 seats including 30 women reserved seats distributed on elected party position in the parliament, the occupants of which are called Members of Parliament or MPs. The last national election was October 1, 2001 and, under normal conditions, elections are called every five years.

The leader of the party (or alliance of parties) holding the majority of seats is the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, and so the head of the government. The President of Bangladesh, who is the ceremonial head of state, is chosen by Parliament.

The parliament itself is housed in the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban (জাতীয় সংসদ ভবন "Jatio Shôngshod Bhôbon"), an architectural masterpiece designed by Louis Kahn.

The current majority party is the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
