Turkey's election campaign ended yesterday

Turkey's election campaign ended yesterday as the country prepared to vote for a new Parliament that will face a host of challenges: a presidential election, violence by Kurdish rebels and a growing divide over the role of Islam in society. Today's election was called early to defuse a political crisis over the Islamic-oriented, ruling party's choice of presidential candidate, and the three-month campaign has been peaceful. Turkey has made big strides after the economic and political chaos of past decades, but some fear today's vote could deepen divisions in the mostly Muslim nation of 73 million. Voter surveys suggest the ruling Justice and Development Party will retain a majority in the 550-member Parliament, though its winning margin is likely to be smaller than when it came to power in 2002 elections. The Republican People's Party is expected to remain the main opposition group, railing against a government it says is intent on imposing religion on politics. The hard-line Nationalist Action Party, which seems to share some policies with both the ruling party and the opposition, also appears poised to enter Parliament. Parties must win at least 10 percent of the votes in order to have representation in Parliament, a high threshold that has drawn some criticism as being undemocratic. (haaretz)
