The next presidential and parliamentary polls will be held in June 2023 and there will be no early polls before this date, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said, calling on his Justice and Development Party (AKP) fellows to work harder to be re-elected into government in what he called “the country’s most vital elections ever,” APA reports citing Hurriyet.
“They [the opposition] still call for early polls. There will be no early polls. They will be held in June 2023. Going to polls every 15 or 20 months is only seen in primitive tribes. We are running this country as a modern entity,” Erdogan told the representatives of the AKP’s provincial branches at a party meeting in Ankara on Nov. 23.
“We will accomplish our struggle in the best way and we will deliver a very bright and new future to our children,” he said. All the elections are critical but given the circumstances affecting both Turkey and the world, the 2023 polls will be of vital importance for Turkey and its future role in its wider neighborhood, the president stated.
“We have one-and-a-half year to go to polls. That’s why we will work hard and knock on the doors of all our people, shake their hands and win their hearts,” he said. Leading the longest-serving party in power in modern Turkish history, Erdogan vowed to extend his rule and “break” new records.
