Despite the strong contagion effect in the Turkish party system for the adoption of candidate gender quotas and commitment to promote women’s recruitment for a more gender-balanced parliament, the record of the quota implementation bythe leading quota parties has been mixed. The prevailing gaps between the numbers of female candidates and the actual numbers of women elected fromthe party lists in a highly competitive electoral process also reveals a precarious contextforwomen’s nomination owing to stagnant and sexist institutional settings and gendered recruitment dynamics. Ideologicaldifferences among the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) which implements a soft quota, the social democratic Republican People’s Party (CHP) which adopted a formalized party quota, and the left-wing Kurdish-nationalist People’s Democracy Party(HDP) which has recently adopted parity objective partially account for differences in quota implementation. The chapter also underlines inter-party differences in terms of the gendered formal and informal institutional dynamics during candidate selection, which places the HDP ahead of othersin terms of nominating and electing more women. In contrast, the relatively more fluid contextof the nomination processes controlledby male-dominated leadership and party selectors, absent or weakly endorsedquota rules and sanctions, and the conventional status of the women’s branches continue to hamper effective implementation within the AKP and the CHP.
