Representatives will be held on April 9, 2009. There are 38
political parties are eligible to contest for the national
elections, while additional 6 local parties are eligible to contest

Seats will be distributed to the parties that pass 2.5 percent parliamentary threshold. This will be done according to the simple quota of total votes divided by seats in every electoral district, and then the seat will go to the most votes candidate from a party that can secure votes more than quota at the first round of calculation. There will be four possible rounds of seat allocation process. Meanwhile, the second direct presidential election is scheduled to be held on July 9, 2009. |
