From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guadeloupe elects a legislature on the regional and departmental level. The legislature consists of two councils with diverging powers. The
Regional Council of Guadeloupe (
Conseil régional) has 41 members, elected for a four-year term by
proportional representation. The
Departmental Council of Guadeloupe (Conseil général), known as the General Council until 2015, has members elected for a six-year term in single-seat
constituencies.
Guadeloupe has a
multi-party system, with numerous
parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and
parties must work with each other to form
coalition governments.
