TheAssembly of Melilla (Spanish:Asamblea de Melilla) is the representative institution of theautonomous city ofMelilla, an exclave ofSpain located on the north coast ofAfrica. As autonomous cities lack legislative powers, which are reserved only to theCortes Generales and the legislatures of theautonomous communities, the Assembly of Melilla is more akin to a city council with increased prerogatives, including the right to table bills and to demand the introduction of government bills, than to a legislature.
The Assembly has 25 members, elected by universal suffrage. Following an election, the members of the Assembly select aMayor-President to serve as thehead of government for the city. In the2015 Melilla Assembly election, thePeople's Party (PP) fell one seat short of a majority, with 12 out of 25 available seats, requiring support from the solePopulars in Freedom Party (PPL) member to continue governing. In the2019 Melilla Assembly election, the PP fell three seats short of a majority; an alternative majority was formed headed by the sole member fromCitizens (Cs) and supported by the eight members fromCoalition for Melilla (CPM) and the fours members from theSpanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).
