Overview
Bangladesh is governed by a multi-party parliamentary system of government.
The executive power of the republic is exercised by or on the advice of
the Prime Minister who commands the support of the majority members of
Parliament and is appointed by the President. Other ministers, state ministers
and deputy ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister
nominates the cabinet members from among Parliament members and one-tenths
of the total members are from outside of the Parliament. The cabinet is
collectively accountable to the Parliament.
The roles of head of state and head of government are separated. In the
Bangladesh parliamentary systems, the head of state (the President) is
generally a ceremonial position.
