The National Assembly of Kolda is the bicameral legislature of Kolda, consisting of the Senate of the Republic and the Assembly of Deputies. The National Assembly was created in 1985 as part of the Saint-Nazaine Agreement that ended the Brissiac-Kolda War. The National Assembly is modeled upon the Laeralianbody of the same name and has elections every 5 years for each member.
Both houses met at the National Assembly Building in Gunieawaye. The National Assembly consists of 240 members, 200 Deputies and 40 Senators. Delegates are elected nationwide, with 100 being elected by party list voting, while 90 are elected in first-past-the-post districts and the other 10 are elected first-past the post only in the Brissiac Republic. Senators are elected by region, with each region electing 6 Senators in a single district, the top 6 candidates becoming senators. Additionally, 6 Senators are chosen by the Brissiac Republic and 4 are chosen by members of the Farmer and Labor Committee of Workers.
