15th Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico


The 15th Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico meets from January 2, 2005, to January 1, 2009. All members of the House of Representatives and the Senate were elected in the General Elections of 2004. The House and the Senate both have a majority of members from the New Progressive Party. It was the second time in Puerto Rican history in which the majority of the Assembly was from a different party than of the Governor of Puerto Rico.

Members of the 15th Legislative Assembly as of June 2005:

There are 17 NPP, 9 PDP, and 1 PIP in the higher chamber of the 15th Legislative Assembly

This is not the first time that the majority of the Legislature has been of a party different from the governor. In 1969-1972, the NPP controlled the House, the PDP controlled the Senate and the Governor was the late Luis A. Ferré (NPP). Between 1981 and 1984 the Governor was Carlos Romero Barceló (NPP) and the Senate from 1981 to 1984, and the House from 1982 to 1984, were controlled by the PDP.
