Turkish PM poised for third election victory
Turkey’s prime minister and his Islamist-rooted party are poised to win a third straight term in power on Sunday thanks to enduring economic and political stability.
“For middle and lower classes, (Prime Minister Recep Tayyip) Erdogan represents economic and political stability, which the opposition seems unable to sustain,” said economist Ahmet Insel.
According to pollsters, Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) is expected to cruise to victory with between 45 and 50% of the vote, enough to form its third one-party government since 2002. It took 47% in 2007 parliamentary elections.
The AKP’s roaring electoral machine has been in action for weeks, with buses plying the streets of major cities blaring the party’s campaign songs and giant posters of the 57-year-old Erdogan adorning buildings in downtown Istanbul.
With the slogan “Target 2023,” the party has set ambitious goals for the 100th anniversary of the modern Turkish Republic.
These include reaching a place among the world’s 10 largest economies, with a per capita income of USD 25,000 compared with today’s $10,000 (7,000 euros), and the building of a canal to bypass the Bosphorus Strait, the world’s fourth busiest waterway.
The slogan cleverly steals the thunder of the main opposition centre-left Republican People’s Party (CHP), which was established by the republic’s founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and is thought to stand a chance of increasing its vote from 20 to 30%.
Moreover, the AKP is running against a splintered opposition, which also includes the Nationalist Action Party (MHP), expected to exceed 10%, and Kurdish-backed independent candidates who are eyeing some 30 seats in the 550-seat parliament.
