Opposition (39) Other (5) The unicameral National Assembly (French: Assemblée nationale) is Niger's legislative body.

During the course of military rule (1974–1991) a consultative body (the High Council of the Republic of Niger) was reformed to become analogous to a National Assembly.

As part of the constitutional change, the introduction of a Senate was planned, at which point the National Assembly would have become the lower house of a bicameral parliament.

The multi-seat constituency members are elected using a party-list (Scrutin de liste) proportional representation system.

[10] One element of the Judiciary of Niger, the High Court of Justice, is composed of Deputies elected from within the National Assembly.

Since the year 2000, the National Assembly has ratified between 10 and 30 laws, spending plans, and treaties in each ordinary session.
