The National Assembly is Afghanistan's national legislature. It is a bicameral body, comprising two chambers:
- Wolesi Jirga (Pashto: ولسي جرګه) or the House of the People: the 250-member lower house.
- Mesherano Jirga (Pashto: مشرانوجرګه)) or the House of Elders: an upper house with 102 seats.
A new parliament building is being constructed with Indian assistance. The former King of Afghanistan, Mohammed Zahir Shah, laid the foundation stone for a new parliament building on August 29, 2005.[1]
