The National Assembly is the lower chamber of Namibia's bicameral Parliament. Since 2014 it has a total of 104 members. 96 members are directly elected through a system of closed list proportional representation and serve five-year terms. Eight additional members are appointed by the President.[1]


Namibia's National Assembly emerged on Independence Day on 21 March 1990 from the Constituent Assembly of Namibia. The current National Assembly was formed following elections on 28 November 2014. Since 2015, SWAPO member Peter Katjavivi has been the Speaker of the National Assembly.
