Info
The National Assembly is the lower house of the Parliament of Kenya. Prior to the 11th Parliament in 1966 when the Parliament moved to become bicameral, it served as a unicameral house.
It has a total of 349 seats: 290 elected from the constituencies, 47 women elected from the counties and 12 nominated representatives. The speaker serves as an ex officio member.
The Kenyan Higher Court ordered lawmakers to introduce gender quotas, or face dissolution in the mid-2010's, following the implementation of the 2010 Constitution.
