In the Second Republic, the total membership of each House of Assembly was determined by the Constitution. The Constitution provided the framework for the structure and composition of the legislative arm of government at both the federal and state levels. The number of members of the House of Assembly was determined by the provisions of the Constitution, which specified the number of constituencies in each state and the number of members to be elected from each constituency. The electoral commission was responsible for conducting the elections, but the total membership of the House of Assembly was not determined by them. Similarly, political parties and the electorate did not have a direct role in determining the total membership of each House of Assembly.
