resoundingly victor in these elections he was given a good run for his money by my how to enjoy the c.h.p. is candidates and also in the parliament it's important to note that the party lost its two thirds supermajority in most able only to maintain a simple majority which he said was a clear sign when he was doing his victory speech that he had received a clear sign from the people that his party required to change required was required to maybe listen more to the people's couldn't cern's them that is something possibly that people will take positives of the people who didn't vote for him because he did say this was a victory for all turks and that's he would not allow for any form of discrimination you know his target he against those just because of their political leanings suppress regions or use so moving forward to the hope amongst stark's is that with this new strong centralized government it will be a strong government that's what benefits everybody and not a strong government that's what hurts those that don't agree with it's obviously only time will tell well one man who doesn't

well the key challenge of the heard one is more he's a candidate of the main opposition c.h.p. party and he performance has really taken even his own supporters by surprise he really has managed to reach out beyond the traditional secular base of the c.h.p. on the first move was to visit the imprisoned leader of the pro kurdish party. who is also standing but campaigning from jail that was seen as a very important move to reach out to the potential kurdish vote that would be key if the vote went to a second round even beyond that he's also managed to reach out to the pious folk he's parents are very religious and conservative and he himself regularly prays and that is seen as i'm president in the past for this c.h.p. party which is being portrayed as in the elite secular party he has broken down that barrier and in many ways he really is taking this election by storm performances which have drawn massive crowds. thank you. this is. the president called this snap election eighteen months early a decision that is likely down to a fast approaching economic crisis that could throw a
