| Notes |
Following the constitutional amendments of February 2009, elections to the House of Representatives, which were due on 27 April 2009, have been postponed to 27 April 2011. As a consequence, the House of Representatives approved exceptionally the extension of its current term by two years, until the new elections, without modifying the term of the House as indicated in the Constitution. The term was extended by two more years to 25 February 2014; then by another year to 23 February 2015. In January 2014, the National Dialogue Conference (NDC) further extended the term until the adoption of the new Constitution, which itself is expected to take place in the course of 2015. |
