By EFRAIM INBAR

The center-right Justice and Development Party (AKP), which is rooted in political Islam, won a landslide electoral victory on July 22 in a highly contested campaign which saw an 80 percent voter turnout. Led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan the AKP mustered roughly 46.5 percent of the vote, 12 percent more than in 2002. The AKP will hold 341 seats (out of 550), which would enable it to rule again without coalition partners."
