New Party leads Erdoğan’s AKP by 2.4 points in September poll
Turkey’s New Party led the AKP by 2.4 points in a September opinion poll.
The party was founded in July by Özgür Özel after a court removed him as leader of the Republican People’s Party, and he and 90 lawmakers left that party.
The poll put New Party support at 30.64 percent, compared with 28.24 percent for the AKP, after accounting for undecided voters and protest votes.
Before those responses were redistributed, the New Party had 23.69 percent and the AKP 21.84 percent.
The result reversed the AKP’s narrow August lead, although the poll is a snapshot and does not determine an election result.
Turkey’s next parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled for 2028, so the poll offers an early measure of party support ahead of those contests.
Turkey’s opposition New Party led President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling AKP by 2.4 percentage points in a September opinion poll.
The New Party received 30.64 percent support after undecided voters and protest votes were distributed, while the AKP received 28.24 percent.
The poll was conducted by Gündemar Research among 2,400 adults in 60 provinces from September 23 to 30.
The New Party’s support rose from 26.95 percent in August, while the AKP’s support dipped from 28.38 percent.
Turkey’s next parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled for 2028.
