According to polling carried out by the KONDA research organisation in January 2015, the HDP is set to exceed the 10% electoral threshold at the June general elections, and win over 70 seats.

Ankara - Anf

KONDA carried out polling last month, finding that HDP has the support of 10.6% of voters in Turkey. While the vote of other parties is down, the HDP is seen as an alternative.  

When the votes of the undecided are taken into consideration, the HDP’s share of the vote was 10.6%, enough to exceed the threshold. The vote of the governing AKP was down to 45%.

 

According to the poll, the parties’ share of the vote was as follows:

AKP: 45.4%

CHP: 23.3%

MHP: 15.1%

HDP: 10.6 %

 

HDP could win 74 seats in parliament

 In the event of the parties receiving these proportions of the vote, the distribution of seats would be as follows:

 

AKP: 277

CHP: 120

MHP: 79

HDP: 74

 

Search for an alternative

 

Polling firms say that while voters have begun to desert the AKP, there is still no alternative to it. Voters do not see the CHP and MHP as being able to form a government, but support for the HDP is up by 2.1%.
