270 FPTP: 112 List PR (women), 68 List PR (general)

Thereare currently 354 members of parliament since the MPs from the south wereexcluded after the independence of South Sudan in 2011 (http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/2297.htm).However, the electoral act has not seem been changed since the independence,which means that the legislation still indicates 450 members.
