CHP+IP : 37,5% including FETO and HDP/PKK votes
MHP+AKP : 51,6%

AKP+MHP won election by 51,6% around Turkey ... 37,5% ile secim kazandık diye sevinen zavallılar kendinize gelin kendinize hayaliniz suya düşecek 2 gün içinde




everybody will see in 2 days

Except this vote was about muncipalities and CHP is now controlling the cities that create 70-80% of the Turkish GDP. It is clear who the clientele of AKP is, not those that are bringing this country forward. Not those creating jobs.

No longer will companies have to pay bribes and donate money to AKP and its people in order to get into tenders or orders from the cities. This will hurt the AKP and it will make the election in the future slightly less unfair.

Not even with all the media under control, all the state funds and all the legislative behind 100Ali couldnt win Istanbul.

You can not do it in Germany or in the US or the UK ... Polis kafana direk sıkar ya da cesetini bir nehirde yüzerken bulurlar ....

Turkey is like Iran in that they both have their own national identity, language, and shared historical narrative, yet they both cling to Islamism as it is the only thing that connects them to their immediate surroundings and makes them part of a bigger collective.

The real dilemma that they face is wither they accept Islam and forego all that contradicts it (secularist values, gay rights, shariah..etc) and be part of a bigger collective or sacrifice that and sever that connection to meet their nationalistic and westernizing aspirations, which will create a lot of challenges for them as they stand now when it comes to populations (77M Turks & 50M Persians) which are small diasporas swimming in an ocean of significantly bigger groups, like + 1B Indians/Chinese or ~450M Arabs or even the ~2B Muslims.
 
in many voting point voting robery (by CHP, ip, hdpkk) detected. That could change the results. Police department investigateing it now.

Demek CHP'nin 600 bin kisiyle hazırlandığı buymuş azgın arsızlık hırsızlık..

Organize oy hırsızlığı

https://www.yenisafak.com/secim/organize-oy-hirsizligi-3464672

Allah'ın .... işlediğiniz suçun cezasını şimdi çekin.
So let me get this straight the fact all media outlets , police forces , all courts as well as high election commite(the one responsible for preventing election fraud which every single of its member appointed by Tayyip Erdogan) in his hands since 16 years and none of above managed to detect election fraud during voting process.Now after two days election is ended it turns out there were fraud in elections? :-) Looks like Tayyip Erdoğan wants change election results with invented fraud claims now , just what you would expect from a middleast dictator. :-)

  • March 31, 2019
ISTANBUL — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confronted the prospect of a stunning political defeat on Monday, as local voting in Turkey showed his party had lost the capital, Ankara, and possibly Istanbul, its largest city and his key base of support for many years.

The results of the municipal balloting on Sunday from around the country was a telling barometer of Mr. Erdogan’s weakened standing with voters, as Turkey’s economy has fallen into a recession and he has assumed sweeping new executive powers.

Mr. Erdogan was not conceding defeat on the results in Istanbul, which were still unofficial. But the head of the High Election Council said the opposition mayoral candidate, Ekrem Imamoglu, was leading the Istanbul race by 27,806 votes, with only 24,000 remaining ballots to be counted.

“The mathematics of the issue is over,” Mr. Imamoglu told a news conference, asserting there was no way that the candidate of Mr. Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, could catch up.

entered a recession in March. Unemployment is over 10 percent, and up to 30 percent among young people. The Turkish lira lost 28 percent of its value in 2018 and continues to fall, and inflation has reached 20 percent in recent months.

Investment analysts reported that Turkey was depleting its international reserves to bolster the lira in the run-up to the election. Finance Minister Berat Albayrak promised to announce a package of new financial measures after the election, but investment confidence remains weak.

“The campaign showed Erdogan’s desperation to win,” said Asli Aydintasbas, a senior fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “He is vulnerable because of his declining votes.”

While Mr. Erdogan remains by far the most popular politician in the country, his party failed to secure a majority in parliamentary elections in June and was forced into an alliance with the Nationalist Movement Party. A referendum in 2017 that gave him sweeping new authority over the legislature and the judiciary was approved by just a narrow majority of Turks.

Even pro-government newspaper columnists warned that corruption and cronyism in the municipalities were turning voters away from the ruling party. Opinion polls showed that a larger percentage of voters than usual remained undecided right up to the election, which officials of his party took as a sign of unhappiness among the electorate.

Opposition candidates offered change and promised to create jobs, improve education and bolster social services. And some were blistering in their criticism of Mr. Erdogan.

A former deputy prime minister to Mr. Erdogan, Abdullatif Sener, said that while the economy was tanking, Mr. Erdogan was building not only a second but also a third presidential palace, and spending millions to fly around on his presidential plane.

Municipal elections usually draw little notice outside Turkey. But the local votes for mayors, municipal councils and neighborhood administrators was seen as critical to Mr. Erdogan’s grip on power.

The municipalities represent the core of his working-class, conservative power base and a source of income for his party, said Aykan Erdemir, a former member of Parliament and a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a research institute in Washington.

Mr. Erdogan began his career as the mayor of Istanbul, and built his popularity on providing local services like garbage collection and mass transport.

The president intervened personally in the race for mayor of Istanbul, pushing his longtime ally Mr. Yildirim to run when the race promised to be close. He picked another former minister to run for mayor of Ankara, the capital.

Mr. Erdogan also adopted a more negative tone on the campaign trail than in previous elections. He threatened lawsuits, accused the opposition of criminality or terrorism, and whipped up nationalist anger at rallies. Conjuring up a clash of civilizations, he even played edited segments of a video of the mass shooting at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

On the economy, Mr. Erdogan told supporters that the municipalities had nothing to do with the downturn, and that he as president would handle economic matters. In the weeks before the vote, the government set up municipal stalls to sell cheap vegetables to combat rising prices.

Most political analysts had predicted that however dissatisfied they were, supporters of his party, known as AKP, were unlikely to make the leap to vote for the opposition alliance. But some voters in the AKP-held district of Uskudar in Istanbul said they were switching.

“We had enough,” a middle-aged voter, Mustafa Topal, said after voting. “We had enough of this robbery. The system of ransacking led to my change.”

Younger people across the political spectrum have also voiced dissatisfaction, chafing at the lack of media freedom and the dearth of job prospects, said Ms. Aydintasbas, the European Council fellow.

“I think this is a growing trend that you cannot suppress,” she said. “There is a second generation of young urban kids who are not behaving like the AKP. They have yearnings not unlike those of the kids on the other side of the tracks.”

“They feel it is odd,” she added, “to have Erdogan’s picture all over town like a Central Asian republic, and every time you turn on the TV he is on.”
