A new poll by ASAL Research has revealed a striking trend in Turkish politics: the share of undecided voters and those planning to abstain from voting now exceeds the support for both the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP). The survey results point to growing public disillusionment with the country’s political landscape.
The poll, conducted between June 12 and 21, 2025, across 26 provinces with 2,012 respondents, asked: “If a parliamentary election were held this Sunday, which party would you vote for?” A remarkable 27.5% of participants said they were undecided or would not vote — a figure that eclipsed the AKP’s 23% and the CHP’s 22.2%.
Before redistributing undecided voters, the parties polled as follows:
- – AKP: 23%
- – CHP: 22.2%
- – Nationalist Movement Party (MHP): 7.4%
- – DEM Party: 6.9%
- – Good Party (İYİ Party): 3.2%
- – Victory Party: 2.8%
- – New Welfare Party: 2.5%
- – Workers’ Party of Turkey (TİP): 1.1%
- – Key Party: 0.9%
- – Others: 2.5%
- – Undecided / No intention to vote: 27.5%
After the undecided vote was proportionally allocated, the results shifted:
- – AKP: 31.7%
- – CHP: 30.6%
- – MHP: 10.2%
- – DEM Party: 9.5%
- – İYİ Party: 4.4%
- – Victory Party: 3.9%
- – New Welfare Party: 3.4%
- – TİP: 1.5%
- – Key Party: 1.3%
