In addition to the Sosyaldemokrat Halkçı Parti (Social Democratic Populist Party) as the third- strongest force, managed two more parties to jump over the 10% threshold. The Refah Partisi reached 16.9 % and the Demokratik Sol Parti (Democratic Left Party ) took 10.7 % of the vote for the first time in parliament.
