The House of Assembly of Zimbabwe is the lower chamber of the country's bicameral Parliament. It was the unicameral legislative body from 1989 until late November 2005, when the Senate was re-introduced. The current House of Assembly, formed following elections held on 31 March 2005, has a total of 150 members. 120 members are directly elected in single member constituencies using the plurality (or First-past-the-post) system. The President appoints 12 additional members and 8 provincial governors who hold reserved seats in the House. The remaining 10 seats are held by traditional chiefs who are chosen by their peers. All members serve five-year terms. A 2007 law, to take effect after the 2008 election, expanded the House of Assembly to 210 seats and made it a fully elected body.[1]
