The
National Assembly is
Mauritius's
unicameral parliament, which was called the
Legislative Assembly until 1992, when the country became a
republic. The
Constitution of Mauritius provides for the Parliament of Mauritius to consist of the President and the National Assembly. The Parliament of Mauritius is modelled after the Westminster system of parliamentary democracy, where Members of Parliament are voted in at regular general elections, on the basis of a first past the post system.
