Current structure
Some deputies entered the election from the list of other parties with which their party formed electoral alliances. Democratic Party president Gültekin Uysal was in the list of İyi Parti for Afyonkarahisar, Great Unity Party president Mustafa Destici in Justice and Development Party's for Ankara (I), Nazır Cihangir İslam and Abdulkadir Karaduman of Felicity Party for Republican People's Party in İstanbul (III) and Konya respectively. Following the election, these deputies rejoined their original parties.
Süleyman Soylu, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Berat Albayrak and Abdulhamit Gül were appointed as ministers, and consequently resigned to take these positions as the current Turkish constitution does not allow MPs to also be ministers.[2]
