The illness of the Second Deputy Chairman Sultan Məcid Murtuzəli oğlu Qənizadə (in office 7 Aug 1919 - 27 Apr 1920) caused the cancellation of sessions on 26 Jan 1920 and 29 Jan 1920. At the resumption of business after a recess, the session of 2 Feb 1920 was opened by the president by age Məmmədrza ağa Vəkilov. The Parliament proceeded with election of the First Deputy Chairman and elected Cəfərov who immediately took the chair.
