Turkey’s ruling AKP and its MHP ally have repeatedly stated there are no plans for early presidential or parliamentary elections in 2026, with officials emphasizing that votes will occur “on time” in 2028. The next scheduled contest is set for May 2028 under the five-year cycle following the 2023 vote. President Erdoğan faces a two-term limit under the current system and can seek another candidacy only if parliament approves early elections by a three-fifths majority (360 of 600 seats); the governing bloc holds roughly 328 seats and lacks the cross-party support needed. Recent opposition fragmentation, including the July 2026 launch of a new party by Özgür Özel, and ongoing legal proceedings against figures such as Ekrem İmamoğlu have not altered the government’s position against advancing the timetable. Discussions have instead centered on a possible minor advance of the 2028 date itself, framed as a renewal rather than an early election. These factors underpin traders’ strong consensus against any 2026 schedule.
