Political parties in Nhoor

General

After 1978

In 1978, the constitution was changed and the current form of government was adopted, which saw parliament elected indirectly by the provincial parliaments, which were each allocated a number of seats based on the number of inhabitants of their province. Initially there were only fourteen provinces; in the 1989 elections the number of seats per province was changed to make room for the new province of Īnōsy after Almorea's lease on that island had expired in 1983; although a province in its own right from that year, the provincial parliament of Īnōsy voted together with Orleqh in the elections of 1985. The transformation of the Zascheïd archipelago in two new provinces as of 2021 will cause another redistribution of seats as per the next parliamentary elections.

Since 1978, the following parties have entered parliament on one or more occasions. Political parties can contest the elections on the national level if they participate in at least one third of the provinces (5; from the next elections on, this will be 6 as the number of provinces has increased to seventeen in 2021) representing at least one third of the total amount of seats in the national parliament (67).
