Recorded 8 Oct 2026

National Assembly 151 seats · 5-year term · direct universal suffrage
Senate 72 seats · 6-year term · indirect election by local and district councils

The president is directly elected for a five-year term and may serve only two consecutive terms. The legislature is bicameral; the National Assembly is directly elected, while the Senate is indirectly elected by local and district councils, so the Senate does not appear as a directly elected office.
