Member of the Milli Majlis Ramil Hasan has applied to the Central Election Commission (CEC) for the annulment of his mandate. The reason for Ramil Hasan's resignation from his parliamentary position is related to his election to a new post. Specifically, Ramil Hasan was elected as the new Secretary General of the organization at the 14th plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic States (TURKPA), held in July this year in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.
Ramil Hasan is not the first deputy in Azerbaijan to assume a leadership position before the expiration of his term. Previously, the career paths of some officials also passed through the Milli Majlis.
It is also stipulated in the law: According to Article 89, Part 4 of the Constitution of Azerbaijan, a member of the Milli Majlis must resign from membership in the Milli Majlis if they hold a position in state bodies. A member of the Milli Majlis holding a position in a state p must apply to the Central Election Commission (CEC), and the CEC must review this application within 2 months and decide on the deprivation of the deputy's mandate.
