Notes
  1. The UUP served in the Third Executive from 2011–2015, occupying one seat. The party withdrew from the Executive in October 2015, with the DUP taking over their vacant seat.
  2. The Minister of Justice is not allocated through the D'Hondt mechanism because it is a contentious position. It was offered to Claire Sugden, an independent politician, who accepted the role and she was elected on a cross-community vote in the Northern Ireland Assembly. All other positions in the Executive are allocated through the D'Hondt mechanism.
  3. While MLAs were elected in 2017, the Executive was not established until 2020 due to disagreements between parties in the aftermath of the Renewable Heat Incentive scandal.
  4. The Minister of Justice is not allocated through the D'Hondt mechanism because it is a contentious position. It was offered to Naomi Long, the leader of the Alliance Party, who accepted the role and she was elected on a cross-community vote in the Northern Ireland Assembly. All other positions in the Executive are allocated through the D'Hondt mechanism.
