The National Assembly alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in Malawi. At its head is the Speaker of the House who is elected by his or her peers.http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/cafrad/unpan004840.pdf Since June 19, 2019 the Speaker is Catherine Gotani Hara. The 1994 Constitution provided for a Senate but Parliament repealed it. Malawi therefore has a unicameral legislature in practice.
