In accordance to the result of the constitutional referendum held in 2007, the election was held four years after the previous one instead of five. The result was a third consecutive victory for the incumbent Justice and Development Party (AKP or AK Party), with its leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan being re-elected as Prime Minister for a third term with 49.8% of the vote and 327 MPs. This represented an increase of 3.2% since the 2007 general election and an 11.4% rise since the 2009 local elections. The victory was attributed to the strong sustained economic recovery after the 2008 global financial crisis as well as the completion of several projects such as the İzmir commuter railway, inter-city high speed rail lines and airports in Amasya, Gökçeada and Gazipaşa (Antalya). The Republican People's Party (CHP) also saw an increase in its popular vote share, receiving 26.0% and 135 MPs. The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) won 13.0% and 53 MPs, representing a slight loss of support since 2007. The election was the first to be contested by the CHP's new leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who replaced Deniz Baykal as leader in 2010. The election was marred by violence originating mainly from the Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK), which is recognised as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, European Union and the United States. ==Background== Emboldened by the 2010 constitutional referendum, AKP leaders said they would create a new constitution after the 2011 elections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turkish general election, 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
