Hürriyet writer Abdulkadir Selvi, known for his closeness to the AKP government, drew attention to two dates in his article on the election date.

In his column today, Selvi said, "Elections will be held at the end of 2027 or the beginning of 2028. Turkey's route now is elections."

Pointing out the state of the economy in his article, Selvi said:

"Pensioners, minimum wage earners and tradesmen, who constitute the voting base of the AK Party, are in trouble. Pensioners represent a mass of 17 million people. This is larger than the population of some countries. Turkey is now a country of retirees. It is obvious how retired people give lessons in local elections. As a result of his 50 years of political experience, Demirel said, 'There is no government that the pot cannot overthrow'. Therefore, the AK Party has no choice but to fix the economy."

ELECTION STATEMENTS FROM AKP AND BAHÇELİ

AKP Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made the following statement regarding AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's words about the 'upcoming elections' in Rize:

"When he sees our citizens there and sees their support, this is the sentence he often says and emphasizes on. This is not a signal for an early election. There is no election on Turkey's agenda right now."

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli used the following statements in his statement regarding the election date:

"The elections in Turkey will be held on May 14, 2028. Another option is this. This should not be defined as 'early elections'. According to the Constitution, the method is this; the elections may be renewed. It may be possible to renew the elections before May 14, 2028."
