  Turkey: AKP again strongest in parliament?
 
 
 

How to calculate the media, the result at the level of 43.6 per cent. indicates that the AKP has suffered some losses and perhaps lose absolute majority, of 276 seats in the 550-seat parliament.

In second place, with a score of 24.4 per cent., found itself the People’s Republican Party (CHP), bringing together secular social democratic voters convictions. The third is the ultra-Nationalist Action Party (MHP).

prokurdyjska opposition People’s Democratic Party (HDP) won 10 , 6 percent., narrowly exceeding the 10-percent election threshold. As noted by the media, it can thwart the ACP in the issue of introducing a presidential system in the country.

The ruling party, which was headed until last year became the current president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had hoped to obtain a 2/3 majority in parliament (367 seats), which would allow her alone, within the framework of constitutional reform in the country to introduce presidential system of government. Majority of 330 votes would need to submit this proposal to a vote in a national referendum.

In the previous elections in 2011, r. AKP won 49.8 per cent. If the trend in the current voting continues, the group is the first time you may not get the majority needed for self-government. According to a senior representative of the ACP can create the party minority government.

AP agency estimates that weaker than last score of the ruling party could mean that voters, in fact, voted against the plans to change the system.
