abstract
| - General elections were held in the Central Majatran Union on 2 September 4108, to elect the 230 members of the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, as well as 45 members of the Senate, the upper house. Additionally, the office of the President of the Central Majatran Union was up for election, to be chosen by direct popular vote. President Mustafa Öztükar of the Socialist Populist Party (SHP) was first elected in 4104, and declared in 4103 that he would seek a second term in the next presidential elections. Meanwhile, Recep Çiftçi was nominated as the candidate of the Democratic Movement Party (DHP), the main opposition since 4104. Additional parties included the New Democracy Party (YDP), the Communist Party (KP) and the Radical Liberal Party (RLP). The election was seen as a victory for the SHP, who remained the largest party in both chambers of the legislature, and had their candidate, Öztükar, successfully re-elected as president. However, the party fell 8 seats short of an absolute majority, and formed a coalition with the Communists – who entered parliament for the first time with 17 seats – shortly after the election. Meanwhile, the Democratic Movement Party remained the main opposition.
