Elections war that took place in Turkey was a fierce battle between Justice& Development Party and the opposition People Republican Party. TRT Turkish government channel mentioned that after screening 24% of the votes, The Justice & Development Party secured 49.7% of the votes, while People Republican party (biggest opposition party) had 25.3%. This means for the Turks that democracy triumphed in Turkey.

In light of these results, The Justice & Development party wins over the parliaments’ majority; which it enjoyed prior to the previous parliamentary elections in 7 June.   What we know is that during the recent election days there was a media feud inside and outside against Justice & Development Party. This fierce battle almost lead to the party’s down fall, however, the counter war that was launched and lead by the party head and leaders resisted and struggled in an unprecedented manner, in order to maintain stability of the Party on the ground.

The elections war is almost over in Turkey, a phase that is described as a battle launched to save democracy, and restore security as well as stability and unity to Turkey.
