- In all, 200 members, including 12 women, were appointed by the King on 31 July 2014. However, seven men and one woman members did not take up their seats in the 220-member National Legislative Assembly, which was convened on 7 August. There were thus 11 women out of 192 members.
- On 27 September 2014, 28 additional members (including two women) were appointed, raising the number of women to 13 out of 220 members.
- The 2014 provisional constitution provided that the National Legislative Assembly would comprise not more than 220 members.

The number of women remained unchanged at 13 (out of 250 members).
