The head of Turkey's High Election Commission, Ahmet Yenar, announced the number of seats won by parties according to the final results of the parliamentary elections held on May 14.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Yenar said the commission had completed consideration of the appeals and sent the final results of the 28th parliamentary elections for announcement in the Official Gazette.

He explained that the participation rate in the parliamentary elections reached 88.92% inside the country and 53.80% abroad.

He pointed out that the overall participation rate in the parliamentary elections - including inside and outside the country and at border crossings - reached 87.05%.

He pointed out that the Justice and Development Party won 268 parliamentary seats (out of 600 seats in parliament), the Nationalist Movement 50 seats, while the Welfare Party won again 5 seats, the Green Left 61, the Turkish Workers 4, the Republican People's Party 169, and the Good Party won 43 according to the final results.

Turkish parties ran in two main coalitions, which enabled some smaller parties to enter parliament because of those alliances.

The first coalition, called the Republican Alliance, included the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), the nationalist-oriented Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) allied with the Justice and Development Party (AKP), the Islamist-oriented New Welfare Party, the Kurdish Islamist Huda Bar Party, the conservative National Greater Unity Party (GUP), and the center-left Democratic Left Party.

Unlike the PJD and the MHP, the other parties of the People's Alliance are small parties, and none of them were expected to obtain a significant percentage of the vote, but their presence gave the alliance the image of an inclusive national political framework and enhanced the chances of its candidates in specific areas where one of these parties enjoyed distinctive influence.

The second alliance was called the Umma Alliance, which included the largest opposition bloc, including the Republican People's Party, the secular Kemalist who led the republic alone for a quarter of a century, the nationalist-oriented Good Party, the nationalist party that dissident from the nationalist movement, as well as the parties of happiness, future, democracy and progress, and the Democratic Party, all of which are counted on the conservative or Islamist wing of Turkish politics, but these four parties are considered small parties, to the extent that none of them was expected to receive 1% of the vote.
