People in Turkey are facing more political uncertainty after the ruling AK party confirmed the prime minister has given up trying to find a junior coalition partner.<br /><br /> Ahmet Davutoglu is expected formally to hand the mandate to President Erdogan, who could now try to form an interim power-sharing government ahead of snap elections in the autumn. <br /><br /> A party congress will be held on September 12.<br /><br /> “There will be early elections and it is no good,” said one man in Istanbul. “They will try (for a different outcome) but it will be the same. They will work for it (change) but it won’t happen.” <br /><br /> “The economy is no good. Prices are going up. While trying to fix things, everything is upside down. I think the results will be the same. The people are the same with the same mentality. It won’t change,” a woman added. <br /><br /> The instability has sent the Turkish currency plumetting to a series of record lows. The turmoil comes as Turkey battles against ISIL in Syria and Kurdish militants at home.<br /><br /> T
