Comments
The mandate of parliamentarians from the south was terminated upon independence of the Republic of South Sudan on 9 July 2011. As a result, the statutory membership of the Council of States decreased from 52 to 32. The current legislature will complete its five-year term with this reduced statutory number. As at 25 July 2011, there were four vacant seats: two elected by the Kordofanian state legislature and two observers elected by the Abyei Area Council.
