The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the religiously conservative ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its former prime minister and now president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to continue to dominate the political scene.
The president's formal powers are limited, but Mr Erdogan's successor as prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, is one of his closest allies, so is likely to facilitate Mr Erdogan's plans to establish a presidential system of government.
