Parliament is the law-making body of Namibia's legislature. It consists of two chambers:

1. The National Assembly (Lower chamber) initiates and approves laws. It consists of 78 members, 72 of which are elected by parliamentary election, and 6 are appointed by president.
2. The National Council (Upper chamber) advises the National Assembly on any required changes to subordinate laws that result from law-making in the National Assembly. It can also be tasked by the National Assembly to perform other tasks. National Council consists of 26 representatives of the Regional Councils; every Regional Council in the 13 regions of Namibia elects two representatives.
