Erdoğan advisor hints at possible new term
A advisor to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan revealed that the Turkish president may run for a new presidential term in a potential early election that could be held on April 16, 2028, instead of its constitutional date in May 2028. This comes after media outlets highlighted that the parliament, in which the Justice and Development Party and its allies hold a majority, might approve calling for early elections if 360 out of 600 deputies support it, opening the way for Erdoğan to run again, despite the constitution prohibiting him from doing so after his second term. Erdoğan has indicated the possibility of holding early elections in his recent speeches, while the ruling party has denied any such plans at present. Meanwhile, the Turkish opposition continues efforts to craft a scenario for early elections, with backing for potential candidates and preparations for the electoral battle amid uncertainty about the main opposition candidate to face Erdoğan.
