Erdogan ar putea candida din nou în 2028. Data posibilă a alegerilor

A senior advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his intention to run for re-election in 2028, suggesting April 16 as the election date. This date marks the anniversary of the 2017 referendum that transitioned Turkey to a presidential system. Current presidential and parliamentary elections are set for May 14, 2028, but early elections could occur if Parliament votes for them. Erdogan's party lacks the majority needed for this decision, requiring support from other parties. Speculation about early elections has increased, although the government has not confirmed any plans. Erdogan has been in power since 2003, and his previous presidential term limits have been interpreted to allow his candidacy in 2023. Opposition figure Ekrem Imamoglu remains imprisoned amid corruption charges, which are viewed by human rights organizations as politically motivated.
