24th South African Parliament
- 24th South African Parliament
The 24th South African Parliament is the current Parliament of South Africa, and the third parliament to have convened since the introduction of multiracial government in South Africa in 1994. It was elected in the April 14, 2004 general election, and was opened by re-elected president Thabo Mbeki's State of the Nation address in a joint sitting on May 21, 2004. The composition of the parliament was only slightly changed by the 2007 floor crossing window period, with the ANC retaining its majority and the Democratic Alliance retaining its lead of the opposition. It is expected to hold its final session sometime in February, 2009, prior to the April 2009 elections.
