President Aliyev's New Azerbaijan Party is expected to win a new majority in the oil-rich country's legislature.
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has called early parliamentary elections for September 1 that are unlikely to radically change the composition of the legislature.
On Friday, Aliyev issued a decree ordering the dissolution of parliament, dominated by his New Azerbaijan party.
The 62-year-old president, who has been in power since 2003, won a fifth presidential term in February. The election was scheduled for 2025.
His party, which has 69 of the 125 seats in the outgoing parliament, is expected to win a new majority in the oil-rich country, which has been courted by the West, Russia and Turkey.
Western energy companies such as BP operate in Azerbaijan, which is part of the OPEC+ pact between the OPEC oil producers club and other key exporters such as Russia to restrict production and support global prices.
Azerbaijan, which relies on fossil fuel revenues, will host the United Nations climate change summit, known as the Conference of the Parties or COP29, from November 11 to 22.
Last week, deputies asked Aliyev to dissolve parliament and call elections two months ahead of schedule to avoid holding them during a major international event. The Constitutional Court approved the change on Thursday, which was criticized by opposition parties.
International observers had raised questions about the validity of the presidential election and the counting of votes.
As power is concentrated in the presidency, parliament has a limited role in shaping the affairs of the Caspian nation.
Although some opposition MPs in parliament are loyal to Aliyev, critics have said they have faced persecution after a series of independent journalists and political activists were arrested ahead of this year's presidential election, which Aliyev won by 92. percent of the votes.
Aliyev has praised the success of a lightning offensive in September in which Azerbaijan recaptured the former breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh from ethnic Armenian forces.
Nearly all of the region's more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians have fled and Baku is now rebuilding the region amid plans to resettle it with Azerbaijanis.
