While the government’s management has been harshly criticized, both in terms of emergency relief after the earthquake and control of construction before the tragedy, it does not seem that the balance has been upset in the provinces concerned.

In Hatay, Kemal Kiliçdaroglu is in the lead with only 300 votes (48.07% against 48.03%). Recep Tayyip Erdogan had finished in the lead, but with a close score (48.5%) in 2018. His party fell by 3 points, to 33.59%, but remained in the lead. On the other hand, participation fell by 5 points.

In Gaziantep province, with a similar turnout, the president’s score crumbles (from 63.9% in 2018 to 59.76% in 2023), but he remains well ahead. In the legislative elections, the AKP, which had already fallen by 10 points between 2015 and 2018 (from 61.4% to 51.4%) continues this trend and falls to 44.86%. Ditto in the small province of Kilis (from 70% to 65% for the president, from 50.8% to 39.53% for the AKP, which had already lost 15 points between 2015 and 2018). Finally, in that of Osmaniye, the president maintains his score (62.31% against 63%) but his party loses its grip (32.92% against 36.3%).
