Jesus Christ will not only lead the Church during the Millennium, but he will also be in charge of the political government.

During the millennium, will there be a secular government in addition to Christ's reign? It seems that I had heard that there will be a "government headquarters" in a different location to the "church headquarters". Do we know where they will be located?
The following quote is from Gospel Principles, which is the class manual used in the Church's Gospel Essentials class for investigators and new members:
Jesus Christ will not only lead the Church during the Millennium, but he will also be in charge of the political government. This government will be based on principles of righteousness and will preserve the basic rights and freedoms of all people.
