Which 24 seats have not been filled since 1963?

[TOMMO33]

The first parliamentary elections since the rejection of the United Nations-endorsed reunification plan were held on 21 May 2006. Elections took place for the 56 seats allocated to the Greek Cypriot community in the House of Representatives. The Turkish Cypriot community withdrew from the institutions of central government in 1963, and its 24 seats remain vacant. At the April 2004 referendum, 75.8 per cent of Greek Cypriots rejected the reunification plan, while 64.9 per cent of Turkish Cypriots supported it.
