“According to Article 6.4 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Political Parties", subsequent changes in the register of party members must be reported to the Ministry of Justice once a year — by January 15.”
Changes in the register for 2026 have already been submitted to the Ministry of Justice by the parties. According to information published on the website of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, currently 755,629 people are members of this party.
It is interesting to know how many members other parties have, according to the latest statistics?
