Turkey's governing AK party has lost parliamentary majority for the first time in 13 years while the pro-Kurdish HDP crossed the 10 percent threshold, securing seats, exceptional near-complete election results show.
According to BBC, the AKP has 41 percent of the vote in the 99 percent of the vote counted.
The result came as a blow to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's plans to boost his office's powers.
President Erdogan, who first came to power as prime minister in 2003, had been seeking a two-thirds majority to turn Turkey into a presidential republic.
