Election-era list and alliance labels are retained. Shared cells are counted once; votes are not duplicated across constituent parties. Display colours are editorial and no organisational continuity or ideology is inferred. Vote counts use the final Interior Ministry returns. Mandates use the Ministry table where supplied, otherwise the referenced final allocation. National seat totals describe this historical election rather than today’s capacity.
