National Assembly 188 seats · 6-year term · Mixed parallel system: 83 seats elected by plurality/majority rules and 105 by proportional representation
Senate 69 seats · 6-year term · 46 senators indirectly elected by an electoral college of provincial and municipal councillors; 23 appointed by the President

The President is directly elected by popular vote, while the Prime Minister is appointed rather than nationally elected. The Senate is partly indirectly elected and partly presidentially appointed, so it is not included among the nationally elected offices below.
