The National Assembly’s performance in 2025 shows strong legislative momentum, as an official report highlights complete approval of government-backed laws alongside limited success for private lawmakers. Overall, the data reflects a clear imbalance between executive-led legislation and individual parliamentary initiatives during the year.
As a result, questions have emerged about inclusivity and space for non-government voices in the lawmaking process.
During 2025, the government introduced 42 bills in the National Assembly, and lawmakers passed every single one without rejection or delay, In contrast, members presented 49 private bills, yet only 13 secured approval, indicating persistent structural challenges for non-government legislation. Therefore, the numbers underline how legislative outcomes largely favor bills backed by the ruling side.

Parliamentary oversight activity remained extensive, with 336 call attention notices submitted to highlight public issues and governance concerns. However, only 53 notices were actually discussed, while 295 motions were moved under Rule 259 during the same period. This gap points to limitations in translating oversight tools into meaningful debate.
On accountability matters, lawmakers submitted 33 privilege questions related to public accounts and institutional conduct during 2025. Additionally, 11 adjournment motions were received, but all were either rejected or lapsed without any formal discussion. Ultimately, the report presents a mixed picture of legislative efficiency and oversight effectiveness.
