June 2015 Justice and Development Party election campaign

Turkey's former Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan on July 8 announced that he was resigning from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Turkey continues to be hope for all mankind with its democracy and economy despite terror attacks and traps, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on June 3.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he sees renewed Istanbul Municipal elections on June 23 as the "realization of national will." He called on the traditional ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) electorate, who did not cast votes in the March 31 elections, to go to the polls on June 23.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said his party will seek to realize the national will at the polls during the renewal of Istanbul local elections on June 23.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has criticized Western countries over their reaction to the Supreme Election Council's (YSK) decision to hold a do-over Istanbul mayoral election on June 23.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 7 welcomed an order to re-run the recent Istanbul election after complaints of corruption as the "best step" for the country.

The decision to rerun local elections in Istanbul was not aimed at safeguarding any party's interests, the spokesperson for the ruling AKP said on May 6.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reiterated that his suggestion to form what he called the Alliance of Turkey is not an alternative to the ongoing alliance between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), dubbed the People's Alliance.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on the entire nation to come together to resolve national issues and put aside political differences now that elections are over. He has vowed to stand tall against foreign assaults that aim to devastate the Turkish economy.

A presidential spokesman on April 2 severely rejected political comments that the results from the local elections in Turkey meant "the beginning of the end" for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
