A Member of Parliament in Bangladesh is a member of the Jatiya Sangsad or House of the Nation, the unicameral legislature of Bangladesh. A majority of members are elected directly in general elections, while a minority of seats are reserved exclusively for women and allocated on a proportional basis. The Constitution specifies that Parliament consists of 300 directly elected members, while 50 seats are reserved for women. The individual who leads the largest party or alliance in parliament usually becomes Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
