The Parliament has up to 275 members representing the 55 AU nations that have ratified the Protocol establishing it (five members per Member State, including at least one woman, and representing the diversity of political opinions in their own national parliament or deliberative organ).

Under Rule 7(2) of the PAP Rules of Procedure, a parliamentarian’s tenure of office begins when he or she has taken the oath of office or made a solemn declaration during a PAP plenary session.

A parliamentarian’s term corresponds to his or her national parliament term or to that of any other deliberative organ that elected or designated the parliamentarian.

This proportionate representation ensures that smaller countries have the same rights, access, and opportunities to be heard and to participate in African affairs.

The extraordinary session closes on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, when Nigeria’s delegation is expected to return to the country.
