Not so fast, there, Walsh. Looks like the AKP may only get 326. Zaman, an AKP-friendly paper, is reporting:
AKP: 326
CHP: 135
MHP: 54
BDP: 35
Oh, and because someone asked, the DP has only gotten about 270K votes and therefore isn't on track to have a seat.

Re: Turkish Election Results—99% in
I will evaluate the election results a little later.
The AKP increased its votes by about 5 million and its share 3 points to 50% and the CHP by 3.5 million and its share 5 points to 26% while MHP increased its votes by half a million, but lost more than a point in percentage. More importantly, the number of AKP MP's went from 331 to 326, the MHP's from 72 to 54 while the CHP added on 33 MP's, going from 102 to 135. The other winner appears to be the Kurdish in dependents. There are 35 independent MP's, most (or maybe all) of who are Kurdish.
More soon...

BDP are the Kurds.
As I understand it the secular pro-West business community support the CHP which is more moderately Social Democratic than Socialist and the pious Moslem small businessman will support the AKP which is not anti-free enterprise which explains why the DP has no real constituency.
