How to read the chamber

Select a seat or a party to see who and what it is

Each chair is one of the National Assembly’s 400 seats, coloured by the party Parliament’s roster lists its member under.
Parties sit in blocks, largest first from the left — ordered by their seats, not by any political position.
201 seats are a majority: more than half of 400. Add parties below to see whether their seats reach it.
5 seats are not listed by the roster: shown empty, never given to a party.
Use the arrow keys once the chamber has focus (Page Up and Page Down move between parties). Reset, or Escape, starts again.

Recent changes

Planned

Changes to the chamber will appear here once a reading of Parliament’s roster records them. The roster on the record, read on 8 October 2026, lists current members only, so no change is shown.

Where these figures come from

Members and seats per party: Parliament of South Africa — All Members, National Assembly, published by Parliament of the Republic of South Africa; read 8 October 2026. A party’s seats are the members the roster lists for it — counted, not estimated.

Size of the chamber: 400 seats, as recorded for the National Assembly from the IEC’s 2024 seat calculation. The threshold is calculated from it: more than half, 201.

Election results: the IEC’s official results are on the 2024 National and Provincial Elections page. The IEC’s seat allocation to each party is not yet in the record, so this page does not show it.
