Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is likely to win more votes in the upcoming general elections than it had in 2007, a poll shows.
According to a public opinion survey published Saturday in the Turkish daily Sabah, Erdogan will win a third consecutive term in the elections on June 12, 2011.
The poll carried out between April 12 and April 27, shows that the Justice and Development Party will get 48.7% of the votes in Turkey, a better result than the 46.6% it received four years ago.
A total of 2 250 votes in 60 Turkish districts were polled. The opposition Republican People's Party is predicted to get 25% of the votes, the conservative Party of the Nationalist Movement – 11.9%, and the ethnic Kurdish party for Peace and Democracy – 6.4%, below the 10% threshold for entering Parliament.
The estimates take into account the Turkish electoral system, which redistributes the votes for parties that get fewer than 10% of the cast votes.
