The Arawak National People's Assembly, domestically shortened to National People's Assembly, People's Assembly or National Assembly, is the unicameral legislature of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Arawak. The four political parties of the country, the Arawak Workers' Party, the Arawak Democratic League, the Coalition for People's Freedoms, and the South Arawak Alliance, occupy the 721 seats in the Assembly, with the socialist-aligned Arawak Workers' Party, led by President Raúl Milano, taking up the vast majority with 623 seats.
The NPA meets annually in the Palácium do Réspublica (Palace of the Republic), and members are elected every five years. The last Assembly Electoral Session was held on 10 - 15 December 2012.
