This week the National Assembly is entering a one-week constituency period, providing members an opportunity to engage directly with their constituents. During this time, lawmakers will focus on addressing local concerns, gathering feedback, and fostering communication with the communities they represent. The House will reconvene on 12 November 2024 for the final term of the year.
