The 110th Congress of Zamastan was a meeting of the legislative branch of the Zamastanian federal government, between September 22nd 2022 and September 22nd 2024. It was composed of the Senate and the Congress Chamber. The members in the legislature were elected in the 2022 general election, and was notable for being the first congress formed without the provinces of Mayotte, Alutiana, and Auraine, which had been granted secession following the Bettencourt decision in 2021. The 109th Congress had a Green Liberal majority in both houses, with a collective opposition formed through the merger of Conservative and Libertarian Blocs. However, the notable void of Bloc Mayotte lawmakers who were unable to vote past the 1 January 2021 Bettencourt decision meant there was little legislation passed in comparison to other years.
Though the GLP kept its majority in the Chamber, its lead was narrowed dramatically due in large part to the departure of the party's most left-wing members in the Progressive Alliance, forming a separate political party. However, this allowed the Liberal Bloc coalition to create an effective 179-126 majority. The BCP only gained 4 seats, and the addition of their coalition partners in the LHZ and CUP losing seats meant their opposition was narrowed to its furthest since 2006. Natasha Chastain lost her bid to reseat the Speakership, and she was replaced by Alisha Fletcher.
In the senate, the Conservative bloc regained control from the Liberal bloc with an effective majority by coalition. Burhan Swanson was named President pro-tempore, while Kendrick Benton became the first Ausianan-born Majority Leader, and Mohammad Sadoul became the first Muslim Minority Leader.
