In 1970, five years after the colony's <a href="/wiki/Rhodesia%27s_Unilateral_Declaration_of_Independence" title="Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence">Unilateral Declaration of Independence</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rhodesia" title="Rhodesia">Rhodesia</a> replaced the <a href="/wiki/Unicameralism" title="Unicameralism">unicameral</a> Legislative Assembly with a bicameral <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Rhodesia" title="Parliament of Rhodesia">Parliament</a>, consisting of a Senate and House of Assembly. This parliamentary structure was retained upon <a href="/wiki/Zimbabwe" title="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</a>'s independence in 1980. Per the constitution produced by <a href="/wiki/Lancaster_House_Agreement" title="Lancaster House Agreement">Lancaster House Agreement</a> in 1979, the Senate was composed of 40 seats and the House of Assembly was composed of 100, with ten Senate seats and 20 seats in the House of Assembly reserved for <a href="/wiki/White_people_in_Zimbabwe" class="mw-redirect" title="White people in Zimbabwe">white Zimbabweans</a>. The white-reserved seats were abolished in 1987, and a <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_amendment" title="Constitutional amendment">constitutional amendment</a> in 1989 abolished the Senate and expanded the House of Assembly to 120 seats. In 2005, the Senate was reintroduced and the House of Assembly expanded. The House of Assembly was expanded once again in 2007 to 210 seats. The present parliamentary structure has been in place since the adoption of a new <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Zimbabwe" title="Constitution of Zimbabwe">constitution</a> in 2013. </p><p>The Senate is presided over by its <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Senate_of_Zimbabwe" class="mw-redirect" title="President of the Senate of Zimbabwe">President</a>, who is not a sitting Senator, who is assisted by a Deputy President.
