The Limpopo Provincial Legislature is the primary legislative body of the South African province of Limpopo.
It is unicameral in its composition, and elects the premier and the provincial cabinet, the Limpopo Executive Council, from among the members of the leading party or coalition in the parliament.
The first legislature was inaugurated in May 1994 as the Northern Transvaal Provincial Legislature. It was renamed in 1995 to the Northern Province Provincial Legislature, and again in 2003 to the Limpopo Provincial Legislature.
The seventh legislature was elected on 29 May 2024 in South Africa's 2024 general election. The African National Congress maintained its majority and elected the speaker, deputy speaker and premier at its first sitting on 14 June 2024.[1] Dr Phophi Ramathuba was elected the Premier of Limpopo Province, replacing Stanley Mathabatha who exhausted the term limit.
At the commencement of the 7th provincial legislature on 14 June 2024, the number of seats allocated to the Limpopo provincial legislature increased from 49 to 64.[2]
