The United Kingdom parliament can still abolish the assembly, because Northern Ireland is not an independent country, but a part of the United Kingdom. The assembly comes together in the city of Belfast. The Speaker is Edwin Poots.
The assembly is elected using a form of proportional representation voting. The seats of each party after the 2022 election is shown in this table:
| Political party | Assembly members | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | |||||||
| Sinn Féin | 27 | 27 / 90 | |||||
