Who won the local elections in 2009? What might happen in 2013?


In accordance with the last successes, AKP won the last local elections in 2009 for Ankara without a surprise. The map1 above shows which district had voted for which party. Also note that more than 70% of Ankara population live inside the circle in the centre of the map. The districts inside the circle are Çankaya, Yeni Mahalle, Etimesgut, Keçiören, Mamak, Altındağ, Pursaklar, and Sincan (For more detailed information please visit the reference item 2 below the text). Those are the main districts that one may hear in a conversation about Ankara. MHP had failed to keep its promising candidate, and has already failed producing another promising candidate for Ankara. The next election will be in between AKP and CHP. Whichever gets a larger fraction from MHP’s electors will win Ankara for four years. The candidate of course is the most important factor for the opposition, because even with the basic mathematic, distributing the total MHP votes only increases the difference that already exists. Both CHP and AKP are yet to announce their candidates, but there is strong chance that current mayor will be running for the ruling party again. The rest of the opposition in Ankara waits for a promising candidate from CHP. Without a strong candidate from CHP, Ankara will be AKP's playground once again.
