	On 7 June 2015, the CHP maintained their position as the second largest party, losing to the AKP by almost 16 percentage points. The party won 11.5 million votes (24.95%) and finished with 132 elected Members of Parliament, a decrease of 3 since the 2011 general election. The party also suffered a decrease of 1.03% compared to their 2011 result, which was attributed to CHP voters voting tactically for the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) to ensure that they surpassed the 10% election threshold. No opinion poll (apart from one dubious poll released in March 2014) showed the CHP ahead of the AKP between 2011 and 2015.
