Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its Nationalist Movement Party ally have repeatedly stated that presidential and parliamentary elections will proceed on schedule in 2028, with no early vote planned for 2026. Parliament requires a three-fifths majority of 360 seats to renew elections under Article 116 and enable President Erdoğan’s candidacy despite term limits, yet the People’s Alliance holds only around 328 seats and has not pursued the necessary cross-party support. Recent remarks by Erdoğan on “approaching elections” prompted brief speculation in September 2026 but were promptly clarified by AKP spokespeople as unrelated to any snap vote, while the government’s medium-term economic program assumes a 2028 timeline. Opposition calls for earlier balloting have gained no traction with the ruling bloc.
