The AKP is set to collect only 258 seats in the 550-seat parliament, falling 18 short of the majority.

It is the first time in last 13 years since 2002 that the ruling party has lost majority and will have to enter into an alliance with any other party to be able to govern in a coalition.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been at the helm of Turkey's politics since 2003, chose to become the president last year in the hope of rewriting the constitution after this election, expecting a full-throttle victory. However, Turks obviously did not want this.

The opposition parties including the CHP and the MHP hailed the results, calling it as "marking an end of an era".
 The CHP spokesperson Haluk Koç said Erdoğan was the real loser of the election. "The real winner of this election is democracy. Turkey has won, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has lost,"
