The lower house of Bhutan's bicameral Parliament established under the 2008 Constitution, consisting of 47 elected members representing single-member constituencies across all 20 dzongkhags through a first-past-the-post system. The Assembly legislates, approves budgets, and holds the government accountable, with the Prime Minister required to maintain its confidence. Elections follow a unique two-round system where a primary round narrows the field to two parties before the general election, ensuring a clear governing mandate.
