Footnotes
The transition to the New Parliament Building is still underway. Parliament continues to meet at Parliament House in Harare.
The Parliament of Zimbabwe is the bicameral legislature of Zimbabwe composed of the Senate and the National Assembly. The Senate is the upper house, and consists of 80 members, 60 of whom are elected by proportional representation from ten six-member constituencies corresponding to the country's provinces. Of the remaining 20 seats, 18 are reserved for chiefs, and two for people with disabilities. The National Assembly is the lower house, and consists of 280 members. Of these, 210 are elected from single-member constituencies. The remaining 70 seats are reserved women's and youth quotas: 60 for women; 10 for youth. These are elected by proportional representation from ten six-member and one-member constituencies respectively, corresponding to the country's provinces.[2]
Formerly based at Parliament House, Harare, the parliament will move to the New Zimbabwe Parliament Building during the current Parliament.[3] The new building has 650 seats, which will allow the parliament to expand.[4]
