Early parliamentary elections were held in Northern Cyprus on 20 February 2005, after the coalition government led by Mehmet Ali Talat lost its majority in the House of Representatives.

The vote was a resounding victory for Mehmet Ali Talat's CTP-United Forces alliance, although it fell just short of a majority.

The UBP, Democratic Party and BDH also crossed the 5% election threshold and won seats in the House.

Under North Cyprus law, a party had to receive 5% of the total vote to get any seats in parliament.

A by-election was held on 25 June 2006 to fill the positions left vacant by the death of Salih Miroğlu (UBP general secretary) and the election of Talat as president.
