The Alquiyan National Assembly, also known colloqually as the Assembly or the Parliament is the unicameral legislature of Alquiya. The assembly consists of 357 Deputies of the National Assembly, or DNA's, which are elected every 4 years. According to the 1982 Alquiyan Constitution, the assembly is vested with sole legislative authority, and is the primary governing body in the Government of Alquiya, with the power to appoint the Prime Minister, Ministers, and judges of federal courts. The most recent election for the assembly took place on May 6, 2019.

History

The origins of legislative authority in Alquiya can trace their roots back to royal councils formed by the King of Alquiya, starting in the early 10th century. Like many medieval councils, this body was not a permanent legislature but rather the monarch's court, with barons and dukes from across the kingdom coming together to advise the royal house on matters. Ultimate political authority still rested with the monarch, and membership in the royal council was fluid. This system of royal courts persisted until the early-19th century when King Aljodof II proclaimed the creation of a Parliament after a wave due to the ongoing rise of liberalism parliamentarians sweeping across Europe and the Nelborne Islands. The Kingdom of Alquiya was one of the last Nelbec states to adopt a formal legislative branch in their government, with New Svealand (1725), Trjebia (1764), and Seketan (1799) all establishing theirs long before Alquiya.
