Chief Whip is a member of the parliament of Bangladesh from the ruling party who is responsible for the maintenance of party discipline inside the parliament.

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. If the leader and deputy leader of parliament are absent, the whip can speak for them.
