| Notes |
The mandate of parliamentarians from the south was terminated upon independence of the Republic of South Sudan on 9 July 2011. The statutory membership of the National Assembly was thereby reduced from 450 to 354. The current legislature will complete its five-year term with this reduced statutory number. 25 per cent, or 88 seats, are reserved for women. |
