After over 95% of votes have been counted in the Turkish Presidential elections it appears that while Prime Minister Erdoğan has won over 51% of the vote nationwide, in the Kurdish provinces Selahattin Demirtaş has taken a majority of the votes cast. In the event of Erdoğan gaining over 50% of the votes there will be no need for a second round of voting in two weeks’ time.

While HDP candidate Selahattin Demirtaş received a majority of the votes in most of the cities won by the HDP in recent municipal elections, his share of the total votes cast nationwide is around 9.6%. This marks a more than 2% increase on the vote received by the HDP/BDP at the local elections.

Over 60% say Demirtaş in Amed and Batman

In the provinces of Hakkari and Şırnak, Selahattin Demirtaş received over 80% of the votes cast, and in the largest city in North Kurdistan, Amed (Diyarbakır), he received over 63% of the votes, and also gained over 60% in the city of Batman. In the following districts the HDP candidate won over 80% of votes cast: Varto, Nusaybin, Cizre, Uludere and Silopi, and in Başkale, Yüksekova and Lice HDP candidate Demirtaş received over 90% of the votes cast.

In the village of Roboski in the Uludere district of Şırnak province, where 34 villagers were killed in an aerial bombardment in 2011, Demirtaş received 462 votes, Erdoğan 15 and İhsanoğlu 6. It is reported that 21 soldiers on duty in the village voted.

Selahattin Demirtaş increased the HDP’s vote in cities near the Mediterranean. In Mersin he received over 13% of votes cast, more than 4% higher than in the local elections. In Adana and Antalya, too, the HDP’s vote increased by 3%. Demirtaş also received more than half a million votes in Turkey’s most populous city, Istanbul.
