The Gambian Parliament is the legislative body of The Gambia, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two chambers: the National Assembly, which includes elected representatives, and the Senate, which is made up of appointed members. The Parliament plays a crucial role in shaping the country's policies and governance. Members of the National Assembly serve five-year terms and are elected by the citizens of The Gambia. The Senate, established in 2018, aims to provide additional oversight and representation. Together, these chambers work to ensure that the voices of the Gambian people are heard in the legislative process.
