The speaker and his staff sit in the centre and front, facing the rest of the members, whose seats are arranged in a hemicycle. The windows are draped with red curtains. The space accommodates up to 500 people in the chamber and 200 in the galleries. The arrangement of seats represents how there is no official opposition and that the legislature is symbolically united.
