Free elections matter in democracies more than anything else. Here is a list of Türkiye’s most crucial elections in its democratic history
Mustafa Kemal Pasha and other leading deputies of Ankara-based Grand National Assembly salute common people, who came together to support the Independence War against the occupiers in 1920.
In the last hundred years, Türkiye has gone through more than 25 general elections as well as many local and presidential elections. There were two factions in this war assembly: The First Group, led by Mustafa Kemal and his allies, and the Second Group, backed by conservative forces. Following the successful Independence War, the political infighting between these two groups became apparent in the Grand National Assembly.
Mustafa Kemal’s supporters gained a majority in the Grand National Assembly, and the First Group renamed itself the People’s Party, which would later become the Republican People’s Party . But the opposition reorganised under the Progressive Republican Party , which was closed down by Ankara authorities in 1925.
“Enough! People have the right to decide”, which was Democratic Party’s campaign slogan during the 1950 poll, was engraved in Turkish political memory as the symbol of the country’s transition from one-party rule to a multi-party system.which would repeat itself in 1971, 1980, 1997 and 2007.Conservative Democratic Party leader Adnan Menderes votes during the 1954 election, which his party won like the 1950 poll.
Under the charismatic leadership of Erdogan, a former mayor of Istanbul who was banned from politics in the late-1990s, the AK Party won a majority in back-to-back elections in 2007, 2011 and 2015.

Erdogan says Turkish forces killed IS chief in SyriaTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkish forces have killed the leader of the Islamic State group during an operation in Syria. Erdogan told TRT Turk television late Sunday that the IS leader, code-named Abu Hussein al-Qurayshi, had been killed in a strike the previous day after a lengthy pursuit by the Turkish intelligence agency, MIT. He did not provide further details or say where the operation occurred. Al-Qurayshi was named leader of the militant group after its previous chief was killed in October, as IS had lost the territory it once held in Iraq and Syria. He had been been trying to rise again, with sleeper cells carrying out deadly attacks in both countries.
