Election and After

95% of votes counted and HDP currently have more than 10% of the vote...   

Looks unlikely that AKP will get the 367 seats it needs for constitutional change.

In simple terms (for me please) does that mean Reg would have to hold a referendum before he could make changes?

[Dutchie]

94 percent opened and 11,9 percent for HDP.

Bluwise - 367 members of parliament means that the government could vote through changes to the constitution.

Without that they would need the support of another party. This is unlikely.

There wouldn't necessarily need to be a referendum.

The outcome isn't clear yet - the AKP could be the largest party without an overall majority.

There could be a coalition government or there could be another election!

Thanks Nichola - just watching progress on "jamesinturkey" - think I understand now.

367 members of parliament

I thought RTE had changed the rules to 330 (i.e. 2/3rds). Perhaps I got it wrong. It doesn't seem it is going to matter 367 or 330 early results looking like they won't hit either target. How long before definite results are known? Should I sit up or go off and read my "new" Maigret?

Hurriyet Daily News now showing AKP as down to 254, CHP on 133. MHP 85, and HDP on 78.

From front page of TDN:



It does look like the HDP have hit well over the threshold and will have at least 80 members of parliament.  Yassssssssss.

Latest results with 99% counted:

AKP: 41.3
CHP: 25.3
MHP: 16.7
HDP: 12.1

GIRUY wee man...

Results so far with 95-7% of vote counted

AKP 260
CHP 130
MHP 82
HDP 78 (first time ever won seats)

So no overall majority.

Ah -M. Georges Simenon will entertain you Colwyn. I started my career as a very young trainee cameraman on the TV series! Good stuff.
