AKP secures mandate in Turkish general election

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey secured a solid mandate in Turkish general election, held yesterday. Although Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an could celebrate getting 46.5% of the vote, more than 12% better than the last poll in 2002, his party will have to settle for slightly fewer seats in Turkey’s parliament, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. AKP will now have 340 seats versus 353 formerly.

AKP called this election, ahead of schedule, after opposition parties boycotted the vote on AKP’s presidential candidate, Abdullah Gl, and the Constitutional Court annulled the result. Speaking about the issue of the presidency, Erdo?an told a news conference: “We will resolve this matter (presidential election) without causing tensions.”
