Ilham Aliyev’s New Azerbaijan party was set to win 63 out of 125 seats, down from 69 in the outgoing parliament.

The poll, conducted by Oracle Advisory Group, on Sunday, said Aliyev’s New Azerbaijan party was set to win 63 out of 125 seats, down from 69 in the outgoing parliament.

The snap parliamentary election was the first in the country since it regained full control of the former breakaway territory of Nagorno-Karabakh in a lightning offensive last year against ethnic Armenian forces. Voting was held in Nagorno-Karabakh for the first time in 30 years.
