The National Congress of Local Democratic Organs is a national
body charged with representing the interests of local government.
Members of this body are drawn from the regional governments. Each
Regional Democratic Council elects two members to sit on the
national congress. The constitution also provides for members of
other local councils to elect members; however, no other local
bodies have been created by the central government. The national
congress's role is advisory.
The members of the National Assembly, together with all the
members of the National Congress of Local Democratic Organs, form
the Supreme Congress of the People. The supreme congress meets at
times designated by the executive president to make recommendations
to him or her on matters of public interest. It may be dissolved by
the executive president by proclamation and is automatically
dismissed if the executive president dissolves the National
Assembly.
