Thus, 121 out of 125 deputies are considered elected. 70 of them are representatives of the New Azerbaijan Party.

Another 41 deputies are non-partisan.
Thus, the representative of the only opposition Republican Alternative party, Erkin Gadirli, is going to parliament. However, since the party is not officially registered, he is officially among the non-party.
In 4 districts where the results were canceled by the CEC, re-elections will be held.
