The Chamber of Deputies consists of a total of 80 members, but only 53 are elected by the people in direct elections. A further 24 seats are reserved for women who are nominated by election commissions in the twelve provinces. As a result, there is de facto a women's quota of 30 percent in the Chamber of Deputies. Two MPs are appointed by youth organizations ( National Youth Council ), another MP by a disabled organization ( Federation of the Associations of the Disabled ). The legislative period lasts five years.
Parliamentary chairman has been Donatille Mukabalisa since 2018 .
