No parliament on 1 January 2015
Brunei Darussalam, Central African Republic, Egypt
(1)South Africa: The figures on the distribution of seats in the Upper House do not include the 36 special
rotating delegates appointed on an ad hoc basis, and all percentages given are therefore calculated
on the basis of the 54 permanent seats.
(2)United States of America: Total refers to all voting members of the House.
