This was the 24th general election in the history of the Turkish Republic, electing the country's 25th Parliament. The result was the first hung parliament since the 1999 general election, with unsuccessful attempts to form a coalition government resulting in a snap general election being called for November 2015.The Justice and Development Party (AKP), which had governed Turkey since 2002, lost its parliamentary majority and won 258 seats with 40.9% of the vote. The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) also fared worse than their 2011 result, winning 132 seats with 25.0% of the vote. Having been projected to win over many disaffected voters from the AKP, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) saw an increase in their vote share, winning 80 seats with 16.3% of the vote. The new Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) decided to contest the election as a party rather than fielding candidates as independents, despite concerns that it could have fallen below the 10% election threshold and lose all representation in Parliament. The party fared better than expections, won 13.1% of the vote and took 80 seats, the same as the MHP. The potential for a hung parliament had been widely considered and predicted before the election, with both the country and politicians being better prepared for the constitutional process that would follow such a result.Campaigning before the election focused mainly on a faltering economy, the political conflict between the government and the Gülen Movement as well as Turkey's involvement in the Syrian Civil War. Growing allegations of government corruption and authoritarianism, mainly originating from the 2013 corruption scandal and the 2013 Gezi Park protests respectively, were also part of the issues and developments raised during the opposition campaigns. The vote was seen by some as a referendum on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's call for an executive presidency.Electoral fraud claims and political violence caused controversy in the run-up to the election. Several candidates and party offices were all subject to politically motivated attacks, culminating in the death of 4 HDP supporters after two bombs exploded during a rally in Diyarbakır on 5 June. The interference of President Erdoğan, who was accused of covertly campaigning for the AKP under the guise of 'public opening' rallies, was also controversial since the President is constitutionally required to exercise political neutrality. Despite fraud claims dating back to the hugely controversial 2014 local elections and numerous claims of misconduct on polling day, the election was largely praised by the OSCE for being well organised and was declared free and fair by the European Parliament."@en }
