How are seats in Lebanon’s National Assembly divided between Christian and Muslim groups?

Under the 1989 Ṭāʾif Accord, parliamentary seats in Lebanon’s National Assembly are apportioned equally between Christian and Muslim groups.12

This arrangement replaced an earlier ratio that had previously favored Christian representation. This commitment to equal distribution is part of a broader consociational power-sharing framework, which also applies to cabinet posts and senior administrative positions to ensure sectarian balance within the government.12
