President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s current term runs through 2028 following his 2023 re-election under Turkey’s executive presidential system. Senior ruling AKP figures, including the justice minister and a top presidential adviser, have publicly confirmed plans for parliamentary and presidential elections in 2028—potentially advanced to April via a parliamentary vote requiring 360 of 600 seats—to enable his candidacy for what they describe as a final term. This mechanism relies on a constitutional exception tied to an early election call during a president’s second term. No official statements or credible reports indicate imminent resignation, incapacity, or removal proceedings. Opposition challenges remain constrained by ongoing legal actions and institutional alignment with the incumbent, while scheduled national votes lie well beyond late 2026. Trader consensus therefore reflects the absence of near-term pathways for Erdoğan to leave office before year-end.
