Cameroonian National Assembly | Assemblée Nationale | Lower House |
Cameroonian Senate | Sénat | Upper House |
* A 1996 constitutional amendment called for the establishment of a 100-seat upper house, the Senate (Sénat). The April 14, 2013 election established this Senate for the first time. Senators are elected through an electoral college consisting of municipal councilors. Each region will be represented in the Senate by 10 senators, 7 of whom will be indirectly elected, and 3 will appointed by the President. Therefore 70 members will be chosen by electors from 360 local councils and the President will appoint the 30 remaining senators.
** The president can either lengthen or shorten the term of the legislature. Cameroon is divided into 85 electoral constituencies. There are 34 single-member districts, where candidates are elected by plurality vote. There are 146 multi-member constituencies with magnitudes ranging from 2 to 7.
