Uzbekistan election results: parliamentary seats officially allocated to parties

On October 27, 2024, Uzbekistan held a significant election that attracted widespread attention both domestically and internationally.

This historical election, conducted for the first time under a mixed electoral system, determined representatives in the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis (Uzbekistan’s parliament), the Jokargy Kenes of Karakalpakstan, as well as councils of people’s deputies across various regions, Tashkent city, and multiple districts and cities. The introduction of the mixed electoral system aimed to foster competition among political parties and encourage democratization, an effort monitored by over 65,000 domestic observers, 850 international observers, and more than 1,000 local and foreign media representatives.

Following the elections, on October 28, the Central Election Commission (CEC) released provisional results. With 74.72% of registered voters participating and each political party receiving over 7% of the votes, the election was confirmed as valid. On October 29, a regular CEC meeting reviewed the election’s outcome in the nationwide constituency, specifically focusing on the distribution of seats in the Legislative Chamber.

The CEC established an electoral quotient, calculated by dividing the total number of valid votes cast for parties that met the 7% threshold by 75 (the number of available seats), resulting in an electoral quotient of 199,282 votes per seat. Using this quotient, the 75 parliamentary seats were allocated as follows:

1. Movement of Entrepreneurs and Businesspeople – Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan: 26 seats
2. Milliy Tiklanish” Democratic Party of Uzbekistan: 14 seats
3. People’s Democratic Party of Uzbekistan: 13 seats
4. “Adolat” Social Democratic Party: 12 seats
5. Ecological Party of Uzbekistan: 10 seats

Initially, 73 seats were directly distributed. The remaining two seats were awarded to the parties with the highest remaining vote fractions following the electoral quotient, specifically benefiting the Ecological Party and the People’s Democratic Party, which each gained an additional seat.

The CEC meeting concluded with the formal approval of the election protocol and the issuance of official notifications to the political parties and deputies. The elected representatives will now be registered as members of the Legislative Chamber by the Central Election Commission.

As we wrote before, the candidate who receives the most votes compared to the other candidates from the voters who took part in the voting in the single-mandate constituencies is deemed to be elected. The party affiliation of the 75 deputies elected to the Legislative Chamber in single-mandate constituencies is as follows:

• The Movement of Entrepreneurs and Businesspeople – Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan – 38 deputies,
• 15 deputies from the “Milliy Tiklanish” (“National Revival”) Democratic Party of Uzbekistan,
• 6 deputies from the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan,
• 7 deputies from the People’s Democratic Party of Uzbekistan.
• 9 deputies from the “Adolat” (“Justice”) Social Democratic Party.
