A survey shows Turkey’s ruling AK party has lost its popularity since the June elections.
The survey was conducted among nearly 4,900 people between October the third and fourth. The poll confirms that the AK party’s votes are below the level needed to form a single-party government. According to the survey, main opposition factions including the CHP and pro-Kurdish HDP parties have gained above the 10 percent threshold needed to enter the parliament. The poll was conducted before a bomb attack at a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara, which left more than 100 people dead. The incident is said to have further damaged the image of the Turkish government.
