The distribution of seats in the Turkish Grand National Assembly has changed: Here are the number of MPs of the parties

The seat distribution of parties in the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM) changed after Bursa Deputy Cemalettin Kani Torun joined the AKP.

Torun, who resigned from the New Path Party on August 31 and started to serve as an independent MP, joined the party at the AKP Central Decision and Executive Board (MKYK) meeting held on Tuesday, October 20.

With Torun's participation, the number of AKP's deputies in the Turkish Grand National Assembly increased from 280 to 281. The number of independent deputies in the Parliament decreased from 11 to 10.

THE NUMBER OF AKP'S MPS IS 281

NEW Party has 91 deputies in the Parliament, DEM Party has 56, MHP has 46 and CHP has 44 deputies. İYİ Party is represented in the Parliament with 27 deputies and Yeni Yol Party with 20 deputies.

TOTAL NUMBER OF MPS IN THE ASSEMBLY 592

The total number of deputies in the Turkish Grand National Assembly decreased from 600 to 592 due to vacant seats for various reasons.

The deaths of Saadet Party Kocaeli Deputy Hasan Bitmez and DEM Party Istanbul Deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder, the reduction of the membership of Turkish Workers' Party Hatay Deputy Şerafettin Can Atalay, and the appointment of AKP Istanbul Deputy Murat Kurum to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change were effective in the decrease in the number of MPs.

In addition, the number of vacant seats in the Parliament increased after CHP MPs Burcu Köksal, Abdurrahman Tutdere, Hasan Baltacı and Ahmet Önal left their seats after being elected mayor in the local elections.

Finally, Kani Torun's transition to AKP did not change the total number of MPs, but affected the seat distribution of the parties.
