The makeup of the Slovak Parliament will change after three of its MPs succeeded in runs for the positions of Regional Governors. Erika Jurinová of the Ordinary People Party won in the Žilina region, also becoming the first woman in the post of Regional Governor in Slovakia.
Her colleague Jozef Viskupič from the Ordinary People Party succeeded in the Trnava region and Juraj Droba of the opposition Freedom and Solidarity party will take the post in Bratislava. Slovak legislation does not ban this kind of duplicity of posts, but the trio had promised before the elections to leave parliament if they succeeded. Historian Natália Milanová and nurse Elena Červeňáková will take the posts of MPs for the Ordinary People Party. For Freedom and Solidarity, the party's Nitra regional chair Michal Šipoš will replace Droba. According to TASR, the new MPs will probably be sworn in at the first session of the Parliament in 2018.
