In the elections held on Tuesday, 25 May 2010, the ''Megacombinatie'' won 23 of the National Assembly seats followed by ''Nationale Front'' with 20 seats. A much smaller number, important for coalition-building, went to the "A-combinatie" and to the ''Volksalliantie.'' The parties held negotiations to form coalitions. Elections were held on 25 May 2015, and the National Assembly again elected Desire Bouterse as president.
