Supreme Council (Sakaria)

The Supreme Council (Sakarian: Dhiwhá Akhung), often simply Council or Akhung, is the bicameral legislature of Sakaria. It consists of the Senate (upper house) and the Congress (lower house).

The Supreme Council formerly met in the Council Hall in the Government district of Yeretski, however in 2009, the Supre,e Council moved to a new building just outside of Neraetski. The old Council Hall has been redeveloped into a museum.

The Senate is composed of 71 senators who are elected at-large (the country forms one district in its elections) under plurality-at-large voting.

The Congress is composed of 301 Members of Congress (or MC) which represent the 301 congressional districts. Each MC much represent atleast 1 congressional district in order to have a seat in the Congress.

The Supreme Council meets from Monday to Friday, however the President has the power to call 'special sessions' whenever it is urgent.

Under the Sakarian law, the law requires that members of the Senate must be at least 25 years old or 30 years old for the Congress, have been a citizen of Sakaria for 8 years, and be an inhabitant of the province or district in which they represent. Members in both houses may stand for re-election an unlimited number of times.
