The 2nd Parliament of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

In May 1990, a general election was held for the second parliament of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This marked an important milestone in the country's political development and paved the way for the formation of its legislative assembly.

The Assembly of the Republic, as it came to be known, consisted of members elected from various parties across the island. The 1990 parliamentary election resulted in a diverse range of politicians being chosen to represent their respective parties. These individuals would go on to play significant roles in shaping the country's future and contributing to its growth.

The parliament was divided into three main districts: Lefkoşa, Gazimağusa (also known as Famagusta), and Girne (also known as Kyrenia). The members of parliament elected from these areas were part of a broader list of candidates who had been nominated by various political parties. This system allowed for representation to be distributed across different regions, ensuring that the voices of all citizens were heard.

The 2nd Parliament of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus marked an important step in the country's journey towards establishing itself as a sovereign state. The election and subsequent formation of its legislative assembly laid the groundwork for future developments and set the stage for the growth and prosperity of this unique entity.
