Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Plateau
The current Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Plateau consists of three Senators representing Plateau North, Plateau Central and Plateau South Senatorial Districts and eight Representatives representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom, Jos North/Bassa, Jos South/Jos East, Langtang North/Langtang South, Mangu/Bokkos, Mikang/Shendam/Qua'an-Pan, Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam and Wase constituencies. Prior to the evolution of the Fourth Nigerian Republic, there existed the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Republics.
First Nigerian Republic
The present-day Plateau State was in the First Nigerian Republic part of a much larger political entity that was an agglomeration of the present-day northern states as part of the entirety of the Northern Region of Nigeria. The Republic was a Federal Parliamentary Republic based on the Westminster system bequeathed Nigeria by Great Britain. Thus including it in this article will make it cumbersome and confusing for the reader. Successive dispensations however adopted a replica of the American federal presidential system where parliament was replaced by a National Assembly starting on 1st October 1963.Second Nigerian Republic
2nd Assembly (1979–1983)
Unsurprisingly, the Nigerian legislature was still coined parliament in the Second Nigerian Republic despite already being a presidential republic largely due to the then transitional nature of Nigerian democracy. There were 19 states at the time represented by 5 senators each and 449 representatives not evenly distributed amongst the states i.e a minimum of 10 and maximum of 46 represented a state at the time depending on their populations.Plateau had a total of 16 representatives spread across the state with a whopping 13 bearing the flag of the NPP.

Following the chaos of the botched IBB–Shonekan transition and the eventual usurping of power by Sani Abacha the Plateau political map was to undergo the following changes on 1 October 1996:
- The creation of Nassarawa State out of Plateau State which will comprise most entities that made up Plateau West Senatorial Constituency.
- The creation of the additional Local Government Areas of Riyom from Barkin Ladi, Jos East from Jos North, Kanke from Pankshin and Mikang in the new Plateau State.
