Turkey's 17th general election will be held on 12 June 2011. The election features the ruling Justice and Development Party, emboldened by a successful constitutional referendum.

Background

Following the Turkish constitutional referendum, 2010, which the ruling party won, to create reforms as necessitated for Turkey's accession to the EU, AK Party party leaders said they would create a new constitution after the 2011 elections, which were seen as having emboldened the AK Party.[1]

The election is likely to be held in June 2011, possibly on 12 June 2011.[2]
