Bahçesaray: one choice locally, another nationally

In Bahçesaray the 2024 local result gave DEM Parti 21.3%, 34.2 points below the provincial figure.

The general-election picture differs too: AK Parti came first in Bahçesaray with 45.6%, while Van went to Yeşil Sol Parti.

The local winner is DEM Parti, the general-election leader AK Parti — a notable split inside the district.

In the 2017 constitutional referendum the 'yes' vote in Bahçesaray was 68.0% — 25.3 points above the provincial average. DEM Parti polls lower in Bahçesaray than anywhere else in Van.
