Increasing distrust of the Turkish people in the ruling party

According to Webangah News quoted by Tasnim News agency, after the Turkish municipal elections in In the last month of April, the ruling party of this country faced a heavy defeat and the decrease in popularity of the party continues. lost and most citizens believe that Erdogan’s government cannot manage the country properly.

The independent polling institute “Yöneylem” recently conducted a survey on the opinions of Turkish people regarding the success rate. Erdoğan’s party has conducted the administration of the country and published its results. This research has shown that the Justice and Development Party, after ruling for 22 years, is now on the downward slope and has lost a significant part of its supporters.

1 out of 5 people trust Erdogan’s party

Unilam polling institute in its field research, asked the citizens of Turkey: In your opinion, how is Turkey currently governed and how do you evaluate the management of the country?

The answers are as follows:

A) Turkey is well governed and the country’s management is satisfactory: 20%.

B) Turkey is badly governed: 57%.

c) The success rate of the government in running the country and the state of management is neither good nor bad: 21 percent.

d) I don’t know: 1 percent.

The table above shows that only 1 out of every 5 Turkish citizens is satisfied with the performance of the government and trusts the ruling party.

Comparing the results of his new report with the previous statistics, he came to the conclusion that in just 45 days, the number of those who think that Turkey is badly governed has increased by 5%!

This situation shows It is an unprecedented form of decline in the popularity of the Justice and Development Party in the last 22 years. After the heavy defeat of the Justice and Development Party in the recent elections, a significant part of the party’s supporters distanced themselves from it.

6.4 Millions of people withdrew their votes

Another research institute called Metro Poll conducted a study on the issue that the old supporters of the Adalat Party And which party did they vote for in the elections of April 1403.

Professor Sinjar, the head of this polling company, has announced that the comparison of the votes of Erdogan’s party supporters in the 2023 and 2024 elections shows a serious drop. and nearly 7 million old fans have withdrawn their votes.

Metropol research has shown that 6 million and 400 thousand citizens who voted in the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections They voted for Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party, changed their approach and voted for other parties in the municipal elections.

According to Metropol field survey, the votes removed from Erdoğan party The order is based on these parties:

a) 1 million and 300 thousand of them voted for the Republican Party.

b) 1 million of them voted for the party of Dobar Refah (the party of late Arbakan’s son). c) 450 thousand of them suddenly became nationalists and They voted for the Nationalist Movement Party (Baghcheli government).

d) 3 million of them were angry with the ballot box and did not vote.

e) 500,000 of them voted for other small parties.

f) 100,000 people refused to explain about this.

The analysis of the above points indicates a serious party-social transformation in the political atmosphere of Turkey. Because the usual opinion of Turkish political analysts is that the supporters of the Justice and Development Party are loyal Islamists and conservatives whose party and political approach is a value and they are not ready to leave their party at once and join the secular and Kemalist People’s Republic Party. (J.H.P) to vote.

But in complete disbelief, such an event happened and the Islamists also showed that it is possible in some sensitive situations, due to protest and criticism reasons. , get away from Erdoğan’s party.

The vote of 450,000 Islamist supporters of Erdoğan’s party to the extremist and nationalist party of the Baghçeli government also shows another part of the dimensions of the recent political-social transformation in It is Turkey. Because usually the conservatives, although they have a nationalist streak, keep themselves away from the radical race-oriented and descent-oriented discourse.

The most important part of the above political table, the anger of 3 million Supporters of Justice and Development Party with elections and ballot boxes.

In the end, it should be said, an important issue such as the ineffectiveness of the ruling party and Erdogan’s government in facing the growing inflation and economic crisis, is only a part of The reasons for the decrease in the popularity of Erdogan’s party in the elections.

The fact is that the old supporters of the party have other criticisms and complaints and they believe that the government, from its initial slogans and important goals such as The fight against corruption and poverty and the efforts to establish justice have gone away and have fallen into the trap of rent-seeking, luxury and one-sidedness.
