The Chief Whip is a political leader whose task is to enforce the whipping system,
which aims to ensure that legislators who are members of a political party attend and
vote on legislation as the party leadership prescribes.
A whip is an official of a political party whose task is to ensure party discipline in a
legislature. This means ensuring that members of the party vote according to the
party platform, rather than according to their own individual ideology or the will of
their donors or constituents. Whips are the party&#39;s &quot;enforcers&quot;.
The Chief Whip of the Majority Party oversees the whipping system of the majority
party and ensures that Members of Parliament belonging to the majority party attend
plenary sessions and vote on legislation in the National Assembly.
