Members

Population reviews of each electoral district are conducted before each general election, which can lead to certain districts being granted a smaller or greater number of parliamentary seats. Aydın elected 8 MPs in 1999, 2002 and 2007. The district has lost one seat since then and has elected 7 MPs since 2011.
