The Turkish parliamentary and presidential elections, which were preceded by the highest polarization, have ended with a high turnout of 87% in the first round, but the interactions of these elections at the internal level will continue due to the indications and messages shown by the final results.

Domestically, the results showed that the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has continued to decline over the past eight years, and the opposition parties - especially the largest among them, the Republican People's Party (CHP) - seemed unable to compete with the ruling party even with its unprecedented decline and the holding of elections within the decline of economic indicators.

Externally, Erdogan's ruling party is expected to face numerous challenges, most notably completing the conciliatory policy that began before the elections and maintaining a balanced approach to the conflict between Russia and the West.

The recent election has several potential domestic implications for Turkey, as well as implications for Ankara's foreign policy, which does not seem to be undergoing significant changes from the past two years.

In general, the internal situation of the Turkish parties will be the most affected by the results of the elections, in light of each party's attempt to correct its status and avoid the reasons that led to its decline or loss in the electoral race.
