Fierce competition continues in polls: New parties are on the rise

Although the government has introduced various obstacles to elections, a large portion of society is demanding that elections be held as soon as possible. The latest public opinion survey has shown just how strong these demands are.

The research highlights a striking change when compared to the election results of 2023.

CHP RISES TO BECOME THE LEADING PARTY

In the latest public opinion poll conducted by HBS Research, the CHP rose to the position of the leading party with 32.2 percent. This result reveals the momentum the Republican People's Party has gained in the recent period. On the other hand, the AKP remained in second place with 30.9 percent, with the gap between the two parties measured at only 1.3 points.

THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED COMPARED TO THE 2023 ELECTIONS

The poll results indicate a major shift when compared to the 2023 general election results. While the AKP, which came in first with 35.6 percent in 2023, saw a decline of approximately 5 points, the CHP reached the top with an increase of approximately 7 points.

THE RISE OF NEW PARTIES IS NOTABLE

Another element that stands out in the poll is the rapid entry of newly established parties. While the DEM Party maintained its position with 8.7 percent, the newly founded Anahtar Party made a strong start in politics with a rate of 6.4 percent.

VOTE LOSS FOR IYI PARTY AND MHP

The IYI Party's vote share fell to 5.8 percent, while the MHP was measured at the 5.7 percent level. Both parties experienced a loss of votes compared to the 2023 election results.

VOTE INCREASE FOR ZAFER PARTY AND YENIDEN REFAH PARTY

While the Zafer Party reached 3.2 percent and the Yeniden Refah Party reached 3.1 percent, the Workers' Party of Turkey's (TİP) vote share remained at 0.9 percent. The total rate for other parties was calculated at 3.1 percent.
