The Leader of the House (Bengali: সংসদ নেতা – Sansada nētā) is responsible for managing and scheduling Government business in the Jatiya Sangsad. The office is always held by Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The Leader of the House and the Deputy Leader are elected by a majority of the members of the parliament.

The duties of the Deputy Leader of the House is largely contingent, coming into play only when the Leader of the House is absent from the House or is on leave. At that point the Deputy Leader is referred to as Acting Leader of the House. ^[1]
