The Senate (Sénat) is the upper house of the bicameral Parliament of the Republic of Congo (Parlement). It has 72 members (six for each of the 12 regions) elected for a six-year term by district local and regional councils. Prior to the 2008 Senate election it had 66 members; it was expanded to 72 members at that time to account for the creation of Pointe-Noire Region.
