The Deputy Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad (Bengali: জাতীয় সংসদের ডেপুটি স্পিকার) is the deputy presiding officer of the Jatiya Sangsad. The Deputy Speaker is elected by the members of parliament during the first session of a newly elected parliament, usually with support from both the ruling and opposition parties.
Serving a term of five years, the Deputy Speaker is chosen from among the sitting members of parliament. By convention, the Deputy Speaker is typically a member of the ruling party or its political alliance to ensure coordination in the conduct of parliamentary business. The Deputy Speaker presides over parliamentary proceedings in the absence of the Speaker and assists in maintaining order, managing debates, and ensuring adherence to parliamentary rules. [1]
