New parliament elected in Turkmenistan without opposition

 The elections were held in March 2021, and the ruling Democratic Party of Turkmenistan won all 125 seats in the parliament.

Turkmenistan is a one-party state, and opposition parties are not allowed to operate. The Democratic Party of Turkmenistan is the only political party officially recognized in the country. The country's president, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, has been in power since 2006 and has been criticized by human rights organizations for his government's restrictions on freedom of speech, press, and assembly.

The election results were not surprising, as Turkmenistan has a history of tightly controlled elections with limited participation and a lack of opposition. The government's control over the media and information has also raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the election process.

There have been ongoing concerns regarding the lack of political opposition and limited participation in elections in Turkmenistan. The government's control over the media and information has also raised questions about the transparency and fairness of the election process.

Turkey without opposition

In addition, Turkmenistan has been criticized for its restrictions on freedom of speech, press, and assembly, as well as its treatment of human rights defenders, journalists, and political prisoners.

The lack of political opposition and limited democratic participation in Turkmenistan has been a long-standing issue, and it remains to be seen whether there will be any changes or developments in this regard in the future.

Turkey had an opposition party in parliament and a multi-party system. The main opposition party in Turkey is the Republican People's Party (CHP), which has been in existence since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The CHP currently holds the second-largest number of seats in the Turkish parliament.

However, Turkey has faced criticisms for its treatment of opposition parties and politicians, particularly under the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In recent years, there have been concerns regarding the shrinking space for political opposition and freedom of expression in Turkey.

The government has been accused of suppressing dissenting voices through a range of measures, including the imprisonment of opposition leaders and activists, the closure of media outlets, and the use of anti-terrorism laws to target political opponents.

Despite these challenges, opposition parties have continued to operate in Turkey and participate in the democratic process. The country has held regular elections, and opposition parties have won seats in parliament and local government bodies.

Overall, while Turkey has faced criticism for its treatment of opposition parties and politicians, the country still has a multi-party system and political opposition in parliament.
