47th Legislature of the Haitian Parliament explained

The 47th Legislature of the Haitian Parliament was elected on three dates. Initial elections May 21 and July 9, 2000, electing all 82 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and nineteen seats in the Senate. A further eight seats in the Senate were elected on November 26, alongside the presidential elections. The first round of legislative elections generated so much conflict that the fall elections were boycotted by the opposition.

The 47th Legislature was dissolved by the 2004 Haitian coup d'état, and was succeeded by the 48th Legislature in 2006.
