"Undecided Voters Help HDP Jump Off Election Threshold"

According to election poll statistics by Konda Research and Consultancy (KONDA), Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) jumps off the election threshold with 10.6 percent, while AKP regresses to 45.4 percent of votes.

KONDA didn’t release a statement denying the alleged tolls. KONDA official told bianet that they haven’t shared the poll themselves but they wouldn’t declare whether it belonged to them or not.

As the poll was not denied, bianet is republishing the results released on haberler.com 

22 percent undecided

According to the results, there is an increase in the number of undecided voters in Turkey. It reveals that a quarter of Turkey’s voters are either “undecided” or “don’t plan to vote”. 

In December 2014, the same rates were 19.3 percent. Now it has risen to 22 percent.

According to the KONDA poll, the distribution of votes according to parties is as follows:

Justice and Development Party (AKP): 45.4 percent

Republican People’s Party (CHP): 23.3 percent

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP): 15.1 percent

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP): 10.6 percent

The distribution of parliamentarian deputies are as follows:

AKP 277 deputies

CHP 120 deputies

MHP 79 deputies

HDP 74 deputies

According to the poll, voters are unable to find options. On the other hand, no evidence proves that those who “got cold” from AKP will be voting for the opposition in Turkey.

Voters assume that CHP and MHP will not be the leading parties. 

However, the profile of HDP seems to be different as HDP increased its votes by 2.1 percent compared to last month. Whiile a poll excluding undecided shows HDP with 5.7 votes, it becomes 7.8 including the undecided. (NV/BM)
