The next parliamentary election is not due until April 2016. In the meantime, parliament will continue to be utterly dominated by the LPRP, given that only four seats belong to non-party candidates. Furthermore, these four were vetted by the Lao Front for National Reconstruction (a mass organisation of pro-LPRP groups comprising representatives of trade unions, peasant associations, religious bodies and business organisations), which weeds out any potential candidates that it deems to be unsuitable.
