[Hurriyet Daily News] Bookmakers say AKP likely to fall short of majority again.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's Justice and Development Party (AKP) is more likely to score below 40.6 percent, according to an international betting company.*

The Republican People's Party's (CHP) vote range is estimated between 26.6 percent and 28.9 percent.

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) is currently seen by bookmakers at 16.6 percent to 17.9 percent, while the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) is predicted to cross the 10 percent threshold easily again.

As such, a single-party government seems unlikely in the favorite scenario of bookmakers.

#1  The asterisk is interesting:

* Sport betting is legal in Turkey only under the authorized company, rendering political bet making through bookmakers abroad illegal. This is why international betting firms cannot be mentioned in Turkish media.
