President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will attend the ceremony during which deputies of the 26th Grand National Assembly will be sworn.
The Republican People`s Party`s (CHP) Deniz Baykal -- as the parliament’s oldest MP (77) -- will preside over the assembly as the acting speaker. He will hold that position until a new speaker is elected.
Before the plenary session, Baykal will lay a wreath before the Ataturk monument in the Grand National Assembly at 2 p.m. local time [1200 GMT].
The next stage sees the new lawmakers select the 27th parliament speaker via secret ballot.
Candidates for the position will submit their applications after the first plenary session and the oath-taking ceremony. The deadline for applications is Nov. 21.
After the parliament decides on a speaker, the four political parties will designate members to the top administrative body according to their representation in parliament.
These names will then be submitted for approval at the General Assembly.
One day after the oath-taking ceremony, Erdogan will ask Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to form a new government.
The current Cabinet will continue its duties until the formation of a new government.
According to the official election results, the Justice and Development (AK) Party secured 317 seats in the 550-member Grand National Assembly.
The CHP came in second, claiming 134 seats while the Peoples` Democratic Party (HDP) secured 59 seats and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) claimed 40 seats.
