BANGLADESH
The president, while chief of state, holds a largely ceremonial post; the real power is held by the prime minister, who is head of government.
The prime minister is appointed by the president; the prime minister must be a Member of Parliament (MP) who the president feels commands the confidence of the majority of other MPs. The cabinet is composed of ministers selected by the prime minister and appointed by the president. At least 90%of the ministers must be MPs.
The legislature is a unicameral, 330-seat body. About 300 of its members are elected by universal suffrage every 5 years. The remaining 30 seats are reserved for women MPs, elected by the parliament.
Bangladesh's judiciary is a civil court system based on the British model; the highest court of appeal is the Appellate Court of the Supreme Court.
