When will the proposed early election take place?

Presidential advisor Mehmet Uçum has proposed April 16, 2028, as the date for the early election. He stated this date carries symbolic significance as it marks the anniversary of the referendum for the transition to the presidential system.

Why is an early election being considered?

An early election is being considered to allow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to run for a new term. The Turkish constitution prevents him from seeking re-election if he completes his current term, making an early election a potential route to bypass this restriction.

Will this be Erdogan's last term?

According to presidential advisor Mehmet Uçum, if President Erdogan wins the proposed early election, it will be his last term. This is due to the constitutional limitations on presidential terms.
