Alwaght - According to unofficial results, with about 99 percent of the vote counted, Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its single-party majority for the first time since 13 years ago.
Although AKP won the most seats in Sunday's general elections, 41% of the vote or 259 of the 550 seats, it fell short of the minimum majority, 276 seats, needed to rule without forming a coalition with other parties.
Pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) for the first time passed the ten-percent election threshold winning about 13 percent of votes to take 79 seats as Republican People’s Party (CHP) won 25.1 percent of votes, 132 seats, and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) won 16.4 percent of votes to gain 81 seats.
HDP's historic victory meaningfully decreased AKP's parliamentary seats delivering a heavy below to Erdogan who were seeking to transform country's parliamentary system to a presidential one.
The official results of the 25th Turkish parliamentary general election will be announced “within 11 or 12 days”, the supreme election committee chairman said.
