Turkish Advisor: Erdoğan to contest early polls
Rojhat Tayyip Erdoğan's advisor revealed that the Turkish president intends to run for a new presidential term in an early election potentially scheduled for April 16, 2028, instead of the constitutional date in May 2028, provided that 360 of the 600 parliament members approve. This gives him the opportunity to seek a new term after taking power in 2003 and holding positions as Prime Minister and then President since 2014. The ruling party, Justice and Development, controls 326 seats in Parliament, and the government affirms that the elections will be held on the original scheduled date.
