Last-Minute Election Results: People’s Alliance Holds Majority in Parliament
Turkey Holds Elections with Unofficial Results Revealed
Turkey held Presidential and Parliamentary elections on May 14, with citizens casting ballots for both the president and the deputy. The voting ended at 17:00 across the country, with 94.7% of the ballot boxes opened. The unofficial results indicate that the People’s Alliance received 49.74%, while the Nation Alliance’s vote rate was 34.91%. Meanwhile, the Labor and Freedom Alliance’s vote rate was 10.09%. According to the latest data, the People’s Alliance has sent 324 deputies to the Parliament, while the Nation Alliance sent 212 deputies and the Labor and Freedom Alliance sent 64 deputies.
The possibility of the second round has been a hot topic of discussion, with analysts pointing out that the number of votes could be key in determining whether it will occur. Despite calls from opposition leaders, Adbulkadir Selvi believes that it is not impossible to have the first round when the system is entered. Kemal Bey’s recent statement has also been a cause for discussion, with Selvi stating that if he had lost and won, he would have celebrated a great victory with other leaders.
In regards to the second round, Selvi believes that it would be a situation that is not in line with Turkey’s political traditions. The People’s Alliance has been embraced by the people, and if Erdogan’s hand is strengthened with a parliamentary majority, it could potentially mean ruling for five years.
Overall, the unofficial results indicate a clear victory for the People’s Alliance, with a substantial majority in the Parliament. The possibility of a second round remains uncertain, but it is clear that Turkey’s political landscape is shifting.
