In retrospect, neither the Left Party nor ÖDP (its predecessor) did demonstrate significant electoral success in Turkey. The party has never been able to achieve vote share more than Turkey's 10 percent national election threshold. Thus, it did not have any opportunity to be represented in the parliament as a party. However, the party launched and carried out several political campaigns to build extra-parliamentary opposition in Turkey, often together with other left-wing groups and parties, civil society organizations and trade unions. Also, in different local elections, it had minor achievements in places like Hopa.
