AKP narrows campaign focus as polls show little chance of single rule
2015-10-24
It couldn't happen to a more deserving group of Brownshirts.
[Hurriyet] In a bid to heighten its chances of forming a single-party government, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has narrowed its campaign focus to 40 provinces where it hopes to increase its seat totals in the last week before the Nov. 1 snap election.

"The goal is not increasing the percentage of votes, but to increase the number of seats," said Mustafa Atas, the AKP's executive in charge of the party's organization.

As the AKP does not see a chance to form a single-party government according to recent surveys, the party will push for specific provinces. "If necessary we'll transport those who want to vote but [are] outside of their provinces at that moment," Atas stated.
