Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b 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. ^ a b 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.
