The
bicameral parliament, but the upper house (Chamber of Representatives) was abolished in 2002. The upper house was to have been restored under the name "Senate" in the June 2012 constitutional amendments.[1] This revision was never executed due to an extended and unresolved political confrontation over the Senate's establishment, which left the country effectively with a unicameral legislature as of the October 2014 constitutional crisis.[2]
On 30 October 2014, as part of the
President Blaise Compaoré to remain in office for another five-year term.[3]
On 24 January 2022, during the January 2022 Burkinabé coup d'état, President Kaboré was detained and deposed by the military.[4] After the announcement, the military declared that the parliament and government had been dissolved.[5] In its place a transitional legislative assembly was sworn in on 22 March 2022.[6] It was also dissolved on 30 September after a coup d'état against interim President Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba.[7] A new transitional legislative assembly was sworn in on 11 November.[8]

Boulkiemde, the MPP (People's Movement for Progress) received 29,445 votes, which is 35.1% of the total votes of the province.[10] Boulkiemde elects four representatives to their legislature, so their electoral quotient is 21002 votes (84007÷4). This means that the MPP will receive one seat from the electoral quotient. The remaining votes are transferred to another category, which is compared among the other candidates. These remaining votes in Boulkiemde won the MPP another seat in the legislature, since the remaining votes (8443) are the second highest compared to the rest of the parties (CDP=16968, UPC
=8099). Thus, since the MPP received 35.1% of the votes, they received 50% of the seats due to the electoral quotient.
legislative seat will be determined based on the number of votes. The districts are divided by one seat per 100,000 people, so the capital, Ouagadougou
, has nine seats.
