The Jatiya Sangsad (Bengali: জাতীয় সংসদ, romanized: Jatiyô Sôngsôd, lit. 'National Parliament'), often simply referred to as Sangsad and also known as the House of the Nation,[1] is the supreme legislative body of Bangladesh. The current parliament of Bangladesh contains 350[1] seats, including 50 seats reserved exclusively for women. Elected occupants are called members of Parliament, or MPs. The 11th national parliamentary election was held on 30 December 2018. Elections to the body are held every five years, unless a parliament is dissolved earlier by the president of Bangladesh.[2]
The leader of the party (or alliance of parties) holding the majority of seats becomes the prime minister of Bangladesh, and so the head of the government. The president of Bangladesh, the ceremonial head of state, is chosen by Parliament. Since the December 2008 national election, the current majority party is the Awami League led by Sheikh Hasina.
