According to preliminary results, the seats (mostly from the Green Left Party) were achieved mostly in the predominantly Kurdish provinces of the southeast, but fell far behind the 321 for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AKP and 213 for the opposition.
The figure marks a decrease with respect to the seats obtained by the Peoples Democratic Party (HDP), the third political force in the country. In June 2015, that formation had won 80 seats with 13% of the vote. Five months later, he got 10% of the vote. And in June 2018, he was left with 67 seats after adding 11.7% of the votes.

In an interview yesterday, Ogan He assured that he will only support the opposition candidate “if the HDP is excluded from the political system.”
The Turkish government considers it the political arm of the PKK, the Kurdish guerrilla group considered a terrorist by the European Union. For Kiliçdaroglu, it is difficult to distance herself from the HDP, as she needs to maintain the support she has given him so far. Without the HDP’s 4.7 million votes, Kiliçdaroglu will have no chance of winning in the second round.
