The Parliament of the Republic of Congo (Parlement) has two chambers. The Senate (Sénat) is the upper house. It has 72 members (six for each of the 12 regions), elected for a six year term by district, local and regional councils. Prior to the 2008 Senate election, it had 66 members; it was expanded to 72 members at that time to account for the creation of Pointe-Noire Region.
