As reported by state-run TRT television, with 99% votes counted, the AK party, which was dominating Turkey politics for past 13 years, for the first time losing majority in vote with a mere 41%. This event will certainly obstruct current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's plans on boosting his power and making Turkey a presidential republic. However on the other hand, HD party, which has run as a single party for the first time, hopped through the 10% threshold of polling. This event would give light in Kurdish minority's wishes in gaining voice in government. As noted by reporters, the voters were obviously disliked the president's current system. Either way, this change in polling balance could bring about a major change in Turkey politics. However, those are all in the future, and that we can assume but can never be certain.
