The 2014 Local Elections and The Peace And Democracy Party (BDP)

Abstract

Amidst a controversial confrontation between the AK Party government and the Gülen Movement, the 2014 local elections in Turkey became part and parcel of national politics and led voters across the nation to approach local races with an eye on this election season’s broader implications. Millions of citizens in Eastern Anatolia and the Southeast, where the Kurds constitute a majority of the population, arguably cast their votes with similar consideration in mind. As such, the elections of March 30, 2014 reaffirmed the dominance of the ruling AK Party and the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), which almost exclusively shouldered the burden of the Kurdish peace process over the past 18 months. After the elections, the BDP announced that it would merge with the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) as part of an outreach strategy to become Turkey’s main opposition party –a quest that, despite slim chances of success, will guide the Kurdish political movement’s future moves
