This contest will center on the performance of Turkey’s pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP). For the first time, the HDP is running as a political party instead of fielding independent candidates. The party is hoping to pass the 10 percent electoral threshold needed to secure representation in the parliament.
Meanwhile, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has won every single election—presidential, legislative, and municipal—without serious opposition since first coming to power in 2002, is looking to introduce an executive presidency. After serving three terms as prime minister, the AKP’s charismatic leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, became the country’s first directly elected president by winning 51.8 percent of the popular vote in August 2014.
Turkey’s social democratic Republican People’s Party (CHP), the current main opposition group, and the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) are both expected to retain representation in the Grand National Assembly with hopes of becoming the junior partner in an eventual coalition with the AKP.

This article largely mirrors how my coworkers explained the major political parties that will factor in tomorrow's election. They all expect AKP to win and retain its power, but they would like to see HDP secure the 10% threshold it needs for parliamentary representation.
One man at a café this morning saw me editing my touristy videos and said, "you're not Turkish". I answered, "nope. I'm from the U.S." "Oh, U.S.! You like Istanbul?" "Of course," I said, laughing. "Well, it is nice, but we have a lot of problems," he answered. And after yesterday's explosions at an HDP rally killed at least two and injured at least 100, I couldn't help but agree.
Anyway, watch this video for some sweet footage of campaigning in Istanbul!
Also, check out these videos produced by each of the three major parties. We had a lot of fun jammin' out to these at work. Look closely at the first video, and you'll actually see one of my coworkers! I told her I was going to publish her big acting debut on ye ol' blog, and she said, "I'll be famous in America!" (She probably won't, though...)
