The Supreme Assembly of the Republic of Tajikistan (Tajik: Маҷлиси Олии Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон, Russian: Высшее собрание (Маджлиси Оли) Республики Таджикистан), also known simply as the Majlisi Oli, is the parliament of Tajikistan.
Chambers
[edit]It has two chambers:
- Assembly of Representatives (Majlisi namoyandagon), the lower chamber with 63 members elected for a five-year term, 22 by proportional representation and 41 in single-seat constituencies.[1] The previous Chairman of the Majlisi namoyandagon was Saydullo Khayrulloyev who was elected on 27 March 2000.[2] He was succeeded by Shukurjon Zuhurov on 16 March 2010.
- National Assembly (Majlisi milli), the upper chamber with 33 members, 25 elected for a five-year term by deputies of local majlisi and 8 appointed by the president.[3] The current Chairman of the Majlisi milli is Rustam Emomali[4] from 17 April 2020.[5]
The bicameral legislature was introduced in the September 1999 constitution. Prior to that, Tajikistan had a unicameral legislature called Supreme Assembly from 1995, and a unicameral Supreme Soviet before 1995.
Building
[edit]From 1991, the Majlisi Oli was headquartered in the former Supreme Soviet building on Dousti Square. Since 2024, it is headquartered in the new parliament palace on Rudaki Avenue. The Tajik-styled and Chinese-aided building, covering an area of 43.750 square meters, features a white marble facade and a 70 meters high dome. It includes a great assembly hall with 1.500 seats, upper and lower chamber halls with 250 seats each, a press conference hall with 350 seats and many other rooms.[6]
