(Redirected from National Congress of Guatemala)
The 'Congress of the Republic' (Spanish: ''Congreso de la República)'' is the unicameral legislature of the Republic of Guatemala.
It comprises 158 deputies, who are elected by direct universal suffrage to serve four-year terms (the number was increased from 113 for the 2003 election). Twenty-nine of these are elected from nationwide lists, with the remainder elected on a district list basis. Each of the country's 22 departments serves as a district, with the exception of the department of Guatemala, containing the capital, which, on account of its size, is divided into two ''(distrito central'' and ''distrito Guatemala)''.
