The party will be able to form a government by itself, but will lack the two-thirds majority needed to bring about some of the big changes that it seeks. Still, the AKP can be satisfied that after five years in office its popular support has climbed, while the opposition has been shown to be incapable of challenging it seriously.
正义和发展党获得的选票比2002年高出13个百分点，但是获得的议会席位却少了很多，这就让选举结果如此复杂。该党将可以自行组织政府，但是却缺少所需要的三分之二的多数来实行它所寻求的巨大变革。然而，经过五年的执政，其大众支持上升，反对派无力对其发起严重的挑战，因此该党还是可以感到满意。
