Chief Whip is a member of the parliament of Bangladesh[2] from the ruling party who is responsible for the maintenance of party discipline inside the parliament.[3][4][5]
The work of the whip is to ensure the proper participation (as the party wants) of the party MPs in the activities of the parliament, such as voting.[6][7] If the leader and deputy leader of parliament are absent, the whip can speak for them.[8][9]
