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]
