Erdogan's advisor predicts 2028 elections

Turkish presidential advisor Muhammad Oğuzüm stated that the 2028 elections are likely to be held early, possibly before the scheduled spring date in May, perhaps as early as March or April. This could give President Erdoğan the chance to run for another term. He indicated that Turkey is about 18 months away from the elections and that the process of drafting a new constitution began in October. The elections are expected to be held on April 16, 2028, a date which aligns with the anniversary of the 2017 referendum that transitioned the system to a presidential one, although the final decision rests with the parliament. It is worth noting that Erdoğan has been in power for nearly 23 years, and the current constitution restricts presidents to two terms. However, early elections might allow Erdoğan to run again if necessary, although this would require a parliamentary majority close to two-thirds opposition support.
