The National Assembly or Rastriya Sabha (Nepali: राष्ट्रिय सभा; Rāṣṭriya sabhā) is the upper house of the Federal Parliament of Nepal, the lower house being the House of Representatives. The composition and powers of the Assembly are established by Part 8 and 9 of the Constitution of Nepal. There are a total of 59 members: 8 members are elected from each of the seven provinces by an electoral college of each province, and three are appointed by the President on recommendation of the government.[2]

Members serve staggered six year terms such that the term of one-third members expires every two years.
