Ruling AKP Celebrates Election Victory

The AKP achieved an unexpected electoral victory, restoring its majority just five months after a loss. This success was not predicted by opinion polls. Celebrations erupted in Istanbul as supporters declared victory even before the Prime Minister. The AKP's message of restoring stability amid security threats resonated with voters, overshadowing the pro-Kurdish HDP, which barely passed the electoral threshold. The results sparked riots in the Kurdish east, highlighting ongoing regional tensions. The future actions of the AKP with this renewed mandate remain uncertain.
