The Republic of the Congo elects on the national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature.
The National Assembly (Assemblée Nationale) has 153 members, for a five-year term in single-seat constituencies.
The Senate (Sénat) has 66 members, elected for a six-year term by district, local and regional councils.
Opposition parties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power.
