    Total number of votes the opposition got almost the same. They win because AKP voters did not vote. Total number of voters were all time low by ~64%

      The fact that akp’s historically very loyal base decided not to vote is in itself a huge gain though. That means that their trust and loyalty is going away, that means akp’s grip over the nation is seriously wavering. And now the opposition is stronger than they’ve been for 2 decades, and they have a few years until the next election to use their newly increased power and influence to further chip away at that trust and loyalty.
