The National Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Nacional) is the unicameral legislature of Ecuador. It replaced the National Congress in 2009 following reforms under the 2008 Constitution.[1] Within Ecuador, the National Assembly has the power to pass laws, while appointment of judges to the National Court of Justice is done by a separate Judicial Council.[2]
In 2023, businessman and politician Henry Kronfle representing the Social Christian Party,[3] was elected President with 128 votes from the legislature's 137 members, while the rest abstained.[4]
