Political analyst Nasimi Mammadli reported that, based on preliminary results, 88 deputies from the previous parliament have been retained.
Among the 37 new deputies, seven were deputies in previous years. Thirty are completely new faces. "However, I could not find information about 25 of the new deputies even using Google. It is unclear who they are and what they have been involved in," Mammadli noted.
