The Transnistrian Supreme Soviet (Russian: Верховного Совета Приднестровской Молдавской Республики) is the law making body in Transnistria. The unicameral body consists of 43 seats, all of which are determined by single mandate constituencies, is headed by a chairman.
While they can pass laws that are relating to the region and it's affairs, however, they are not allowed to pass laws that conflict with Moldovan law[citation needed]. Moldova still considers Transnistria part of that country, though Transnistria declared independence on 2 September 1990. Until 2005, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet was Grigorii Marakutsa (Grigore Mărăcuţă), but following the election win of opposition party Renewal the new chairman became Renewal party leader Yevgeni Shevchuk. Both Marakutsa and Shevchuk are native-born Transnistrians.
