After 12 years in power, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has suffered his biggest setback in over a decade as voters quash his party’s hopes for a ruling majority.

The pro-Kurdish HDP party won 80 seats in the election, which has been hailed as a remarkable result for a party pollsters believed would struggle to cross the required 10% threshold.

As Erdoğan’s AKP struggles to form a coalition, we would like to hear from Turkish people what they hope to see in their country following these results. What changes would you like to see? How would you feel if if another election is called? Have you voted for Erdoğan before but changed your mind this election? If so why?
