The Gambia attained self-government in 1962 and full independence in 1965. It was declared a republic in April 1970 and remained a multi-party democracy until July 1994, when the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council took over following a bloodless coup. The constitution of the second Republic of the Gambia was agreed in a national referendum on 8th August 1996 and came into force on 16th January 1997.

The Gambia's unicameral legislature is currently called the National Assembly. It was previously known as the House of Assembly and the House of Representatives.
