Erdogan Eyes Third Term in Potential April 2028 Early Election

Senior adviser Mehmet Ucum stated that parliament could approve an early vote with 360 lawmakers' support, bypassing the two-term limit to allow Erdogan's third candidacy.

Erdogan's AKP and MHP allies hold 326 of 600 seats, falling short of the threshold, while the date nods to the 2017 referendum's anniversary that created the presidential system.

Online reactions split between supporters seeking continuity and critics questioning his long tenure since 2003 amid past controversies.
