Erdogan to sidestep Turkey’s constitutional term limits in early 2028 vote, adviser says

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intends to run in an early election in 2028 in order to circumvent the constitutional term limits he would face if he serves out his full current term, a top adviser said Thursday. Under Turkey's constitution, parliament can trigger early elections given the support of 360 lawmakers, meaning the ruling AKP and its nationalist ally MHP will need support of at least 34 more lawmakers.
