This is a list of members of the fourth North West Provincial Legislature as elected in the election of 22 April 2009. In that election, the African National Congress (ANC) maintained a comfortable majority of 25 seats in the 33-seat legislature, although this represented a loss of two seats since the third legislature. Three seats apiece went to the Democratic Alliance and to a new entrant, the Congress of the People. The United Christian Democratic Party, formerly the official opposition, held two seats, while the Freedom Front Plus lost its representation altogether for the first time since the legislature was established in 1994.
When the legislature convened for the first time on 6 May 2009, the ANC's Maureen Modiselle was elected as the third Premier of the North West, succeeding Edna Molewa. She announced her Executive Council later the same day. Nono Maloyi was elected as Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature. However, neither served the full term in their offices: on 19 November 2010, Thandi Modise was elected as Premier after Modiselle was sacked by her party; and Supra Mahumapelo was elected to succeed Maloyi as Speaker on 3 April 2012.
