National Assembly (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

The National Assembly is the lower house and main legislative political body of the Parliament of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is one of the two legislative bodies along with the Senate. The National Assembly is composed of deputies who are elected by the citizens of the DRC. The deputies serve as the voice of the people and are responsible for enacting legislation, representing their constituents' interests, and overseeing the executive branch of government. The National Assembly is responsible for deliberating and passing laws that impact the nation and its citizens. It was established by the 2006 constitution, which provided for a bicameral parliament consisting of the National Assembly and the Senate. It is located at the People's Palace in Kinshasa.

Electoral system
The National Assembly is elected every five years by universal suffrage. For the 2023 elections 484 seats of the assembly were apportioned among 179 electoral districts based on voter registration numbers. The remaining 16 seats were reserved for the districts of Kwamouth, Masisi, and Rutshuru territories which did not participate in the election due to armed conflict. The assembly as a whole will consist of 65 members elected in single member constituencies by first-past-the-post and the remaining 435 members elected in multi-member constituencies by open list. ==Presidents of the National Assembly==
