The National Assembly's list of deputies for 2025-2029 numbers all 188 seats and prints one name for each, so every seat is named here. The Assembly's own website did not resolve when we compiled this, so the chamber's document was read from the Inter-Parliamentary Union's copy of it, checked on 19 October 2026. The Senate's 69 members and their provinces come from the Senate's own website on the same date. Neither list prints a party for the individual member, so party is left blank instead of being inferred from the election result; the seat breakdown by party on this page comes from the published election result. Both lists print names in capitals: each page shows the name in normal capitalisation and repeats the printed form below it. Neither chamber publishes member photographs, so no member page here is offered to search engines: the pages are readable, but they stay out of search until a photograph with a licence we can verify exists.
