CONSEIL REPRÉSENTATIF
(1947-1952)
Organised by: Loi nº 46-2152 du 7 octobre 1946; and Décret nº 46-2374 du 25 octobre 1946 portant création d'assemblées représentatives territoriales en Afrique équatoriale française
Election: Sunday, 15 December 1946 (1st round) / 12 January 1947 (2nd round, did not take place since it was not necessary in Ubangi-Shari)
Electoral college: double electoral college, both the electorate and the members of the local assembly were divided into two colleges, a Second electoral college--Ubangians "Citoyens de statut personnel"--and a First electoral college--Europeans "Citoyens de statut civil français".
Suffrage: restricted for the second electoral college--Ubangians--, women could not vote but could be elected; universal for the first electoral college--everyone aged 21 years old--
Seats: 25, Second electoral college--Ubangians--, 15; First electoral college--Europeans--, 10
Constituencies: 5, 4 for the second electoral college: 1st constituency Berbérati--west--(3 seats), 2nd constituency Bangui--south-west--(5 seats), 3rd constituency Fort-Sibut--east--(5 seats), and 4th constituency Bangassou--sultanates of Haut-Oubangui--(2 seats), and a single constituency for the first electoral college (10 seats). Unlike other territories, where administrative regions served as constituencies, Oubangui-Chari had been divided into four large constituencies. Under this arrangement, the elite in the main towns, particularly Bangui and Bambari were unable to dominate any constituency.
Political parties: AESO lists (listes d'Action Économique et Sociale Oubanguienne, sponsored by Barthélemy Boganda and led by Georges Darlan), Socialist-SFIO list (only for the Bangui constituency, Augustin Bayonne), Socialist-SFIO-Communist list (only for the Fort-Sibut constituency, sponsored by Gandji-Ko-Bokasi and led by Gabriel Pounaba and Ferdinand Bassamoungou)
History: The law of 7 October 1946 had placed the onus of organising local assemblies on the French Union--split into a double electoral college system for African overseas territories in an almost racial segregation system. In Ubangi-Shari, the Conseil Représentatif (Representative Council)--first assembly of the country-- consisted only of 25 seats, 15 for the second electoral college--Ubangians-- and 10 for the first electoral college--Europeans. The Conseil Répresentatif had limited powers, mainly confined to financial matters. Boganda's supporters were not in a majority, as the independents had voted unconditionally with the representatives of the European college on all occasions and Boganda himself had not wished to stand for election to a local assembly that had no real political influence. Although the Socialists captured heavy majorities at Bangui, Bambari and a few other centers, the Boganda-sponsored lists--AESO lists--won all seats without difficulty. Among the three separate European lists to compete for the ten first-college seats, the Chamber of Commerce list won all the seats without difficulty.

Assemblée Législative de la République Centrafricaine (30 Apr 1959 - 17 Nov 1960)
Assemblée Nationale de la République Centrafricaine (17 Nov 1960 - 30 Apr 1964)
Organised by: Ordonnance nº 59/36 du 17 février 1959 portant loi organique relative à l'élection des députés
Election: Sunday, 5 April 1959 (2nd, 3rd and 4th constituencies) and 25 April 1959 (1st constituency elections were postponed because all the candidates were annulled)
Suffrage: universal
Seats: 50
Constituencies: (4), 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
Political parties: MESAN
History: The two vacant seats (left by the death of Boganda and Fayama) and a third seat won by the MESAN party (Député Boybou) but declared illegal by Constitutional Council--all of these seats were in the 2nd constituency--were filled in a by-election held on 25 September 1960. All three seats were won by the MESAN party (Binguimale, Ouananga and Ouatebot). A new party, the MEDAC was formed in June 1960 by a dozen députés, so the MEDAC did not take part in the 1959 election but was made up of those députés who left the ranks of MESAN. The MEDAC took part in the by-election held on 25 September 1960 and was dismantled on December 1960 by the Dacko Government. Some of the MEDAC deputés were pardoned by Dacko and reintegrated into the MESAN files.

History: In 1992 President Kolingba agreed to hold legislative and presidential elections, but on 27 October 1992 only four days after the 1st round took place the election was cancelled by the Supreme Court. One year later, President Kolingba finally agreed to held legislative and presidential elections. The 1st round (22 Aug 1993) clearly showed the Kolingba era came to an end. The 2nd round of the election (19 Sep 1993) was invalidated by the Constitutional Court in Zangba. The National Assembly 5-year period was to end on 1 Nov 1998 but as a new election could not take place on time for a usual renewal of the parliament the National Assembly passed a law extending députés powers for an extra 3 month period. So the term in office finally ended on 31 Dec 1998 and the new National Assembly term in office was inaugurated on 1 Jan 1999.

History: Voting had initially been scheduled for 25 April 2010 but less than a month before that date it was postponed until 16 May as a result of opposition claims that there was not enough time to organise a legitimate poll. The 16 May date was scrapped for the same reason at the end of April. President Bozizé's legal term duly ended on 11 June 2010 but as new election could not take place in time the National Assembly had both the President and the National Assembly member's term extended by means of law nº 10-005 (11 May 2010), the term is extended accordingly to the Electoral Code. On 16 June 2010, the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) proposed holding the election on 24 October 2010, believing that would allow sufficient time to properly organize the election. On 30 July 2010 President Bozizé signed a new décret stating that the elections would take place on 23 January 2011.
