Striking result in October research! Türkiye's biggest 'party' has been announced: Neither AKP nor NEW Party...

It was noteworthy that a significant portion of the voters did not indicate any party preference in ASAL Research's October 2026 survey.

After the undecided parties were dispersed, the AKP was measured as 31.6 percent and the NEW Party as 25.2 percent, and the difference between the two parties was 6.4 points.

ASAL Research and Consultancy announced the results of the "Türkiye Political Agenda October 2026 Research" conducted between 4-10 October 2026.

In the research conducted in 28 provinces covering 26 regions according to the NUTS-2 system across Turkey, 2,020 people aged 18 and over were interviewed using the computer-assisted telephone survey (CATI) method.

It was stated that the research was conducted at a 95 percent confidence level, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.41 points.

Participants were asked: "If there was a parliamentary general election this Sunday, which political party would you vote for?" The question was posed.

Undecided 18.8 PERCENT

The proportion of voters who did not say they would vote for any party stood out in the results announced before the undecided voters were dispersed.

18.8 percent of the participants answered "I am undecided", 15.4 percent answered "I will not vote", and 3.6 percent answered "I have no opinion/no answer".

Thus, the total rate of those who are undecided, those who stated that they will not go to the ballot box, and those who did not express an opinion reached 37.8 percent.

TABLE BEFORE DISTRIBUTION OF Undecideds

According to the raw results, AKP had the highest party rate with 19.6 percent, while NEW Party was measured as 15.7 percent.

DEM Party received 5.5 percent, MHP 5.0 percent, İYİ Party 4.4 percent, CHP 3.2 percent, Zafer Party 2.1 percent, Key Party 2.0 percent and Re-Welfare Party 1.8 percent. The total rate of other parties was 2.9 percent.

WHEN Undecided Members Are Dispersed, AKP 31.6 PERCENT

After the proportional distribution of those who were undecided, those who said they would not vote and those who did not respond, the vote rates of the parties were recalculated.

Accordingly, AKP was measured as 31.6 percent and NEW Party was measured as 25.2 percent. The difference between the two parties was 6.4 points.

DEM Party ranked third with 8.8 percent, MHP with 8.0 percent, İYİ Party with 7.1 percent and CHP with 5.1 percent.

The vote rate of the Victory Party was recorded as 3.4 percent, the Key Party as 3.2 percent, and the Re-Welfare Party as 2.9 percent. The total of other parties was 4.7 percent.

37.8 PERCENT OF VOTERS DID NOT STATE THEIR PARTY PREFERENCE

It was noteworthy that in the raw data of the research, more than one in three voters did not indicate a political party preference.

The fact that undecided voters reached 18.8 percent, when evaluated together with the 15.4 percent who stated that they would not go to the ballot box, revealed the importance of the voter base who did not declare their party preference in the possible election process.
