T urkey's governing AK party is on course to lose its parliamentary majority, early projections suggest.
They also suggest the pro-Kurdish HDP is set to cross the 10% threshold, securing seats for the first time.
With 90% of the vote counted, the AKP had 42% of the vote, according to Turkish TV stations.
If
confirmed, the result would end the AKP's 13-year single-party rule,
and upset President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's plans to boost his office's
powers.
President Erdogan, who first came to power as prime
minister in 2003, has been seeking a two-thirds majority to turn Turkey
into a presidential republic.
