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 January 10, 2001 and, under normal conditions, elections are called every five years.
The leader of the party (or alliance of parties) holding majority seats is the Prime Minister of the country, is the head of the government and for all practical purposes is the effective Head of State (although technically the Head of the State is the President).
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.
