The conservative nationalist party's support base has been the target of the AKP, in a calculated election strategy designed to pull enough voters away from the MHP that the party fails to pass the 10% threshold; an eventuality which would result in the MHP's seats in parliament being split between the AKP and CHP.
AKP je usredsređena na bazu podrške toj konzervativnoj nacionalističkoj stranci, u sklopu svoje isplanirane izborne strategije sa ciljem da se odvuče dovoljno glasova MHP-a da stranka ne pređe cenzus od 10 odsto. Ta mogućnost dovela bi do toga da se mandati MHP u parlamentu podele između AKP i CHP.
