Parliamentary elections were held in Azerbaijan on 9 February 2020.[1] They were originally scheduled to take place in November 2020,[2] but were brought forward after parliament was dissolved in December 2019.[1] Opposition parties accused President Ilham Aliyev of limiting their ability to campaign and called for a boycott of the election.
The ruling New Azerbaijan Party retained its majority, winning 72 of the 125 seats, although this was later reduced to 70 when results in two constituencies were annulled. The second largest party (the Civic Solidarity Party) won only three seats.
Electoral system
The 125 members of the National Assembly were elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system.[3]
Campaign
A total of 1,314 candidates contested the elections; 1,057 ran as independents, with 246 running as candidates of 19 different parties and 11 as nominees of initiative groups.[4]
Although a significant part of the opposition boycotted the elections, some parties (e.g. Musavat) announced that they would participate.[5][6]
Results
